Tasting Notes

This rocky, east-facing vineyard was formerly a lavender farm, although now only a few rows remain next to the young syrah vines.

The vines here are younger than the other vineyards, but it has already produced a number of distinctive and critically acclaimed wines.

Reviews & Scores

The 2011 Syrah Richard?s Family is a powerful, rich wine that spent 36 months in wood. It boasts lots of blackberry, black currant, licorice, forest floor and truffle-like notes. Opulent and full-bodied, it is an incredible success for this challenging vintage. Consume it over the next decade.
