Blended with a good chunk of Viognier (from the same vineyard and co-fermented), the 2018 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard offers a sweet nose of red and blue fruits, lavender, spring flowers, and bacon fat, with subtle classic Rocks notes of mulch and charcoal emerging with time in the glass. Incredibly complex, medium to full-bodied, and seamless, it reminds me of an old-school Cote Rotie with its exotic, floral, yet meaty style. This cuvee is always one of the more up-front Syrahs in the lineup, yet it ages just as well as the otehrs, possessing a solid 20- to 25- year drink window
