Winemaker Notes: Aromatics of blackberry and iron, sage, smoked meat, purple flowers and gummy candies. On the palate berry and bramble, licorice, thyme, sanguine. Compact and very old-world in style with firm structure and a dense mouthfeel of tangy black and blue fruit, with iron and stone. Finishes with ripe tannin.
Blend: 38% Syrah, 36% Carignan, 20% Petite Sirah, 5% Grenache, 1% Mourvedre

The 2020 Avenger also has more subtle aromatics but brings plenty of richness and texture. Darker fruits, cassis, ground pepper, and leather define the aromatics, and it has a great mid-palate, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It’s a terrific Syrah from a more challenging vintage. Count me impressed.
