Force Majeure Syrah Red Mountain Estate 2021
Details
99 Points | JD (Barrel Notes)
“The 2021 Syrah Red Mountain Estate is a sensational wine in the making. Offering incredible aromatics of ripe black fruits, cassis, ground pepper, and violets, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a silky, layered, concentrated mouthfeel, and beautiful tannins. It picks up a remarkable sense of minerality with time in the glass and this is one heavenly Syrah that will evolve for two decades. The blend is 99% Syrah and 1% Viognier, fermented with 15% stems and aging in larger format French oak. 401 cases.” - Jeb Dunnuck

“This 2021 Red Mountain Syrah comes from 11 acre hillside set on fractured basalt that is tightly spaced. The wine was given 15% whole cluster fermentation and has a touch of Viognier blended in. The palate is soft and seamless with serious verve and concentration. Weightless and loaded with dense black and blue fruit flavors, with creme de violette, Turkish coffee accents, this is quite simply the finest Syrah you will find on Red Mountain. What a stunner! Drink 2024-2040.” - Owen Bargreen, Vinous Media
