Vinous
The 2021 Syrah The Initiation is fabulous. Rich, inky and explosive, the 2021 races across the palate, offering an exotic concoction of blackberry, espresso, menthol, lavender, licorice and baking spice. The Initiation is a full-bodied, inky wine, yet it also offers impeccable balance, with no hard edges and tons of sheer allure. Impressive.
