The 2022 Syrah is terrific as well as a great value. Upfront black and blue fruits, peppery herbs, and violet notes all define the bouquet, and it's a pleasure-bent, medium-bodied, front end-loaded effort that will drink nicely for 3-5 years.

Vibrant and sleek, with lively flavors of cherry, jalapeno and cracked pepper that zip along the zesty finish. Drink now through 2031. 917 cases made.

The Readers' blackberry, honeysuckle and meadow flowers aromas mix with a savory note similar to bone broth. There are more blackberries on the thick-textured palate, joined by blueberry jam, coffee and molasses flavors. The tannins are plush and the acidity is restrained with this Syrah, which also includes 20% Malbec and 5% Viognier.
