The 2021 Syrah Eddie's Patch was vinified with about 30% whole bunches and matured in about 25% new 300- and 500-liter barrels. Deep ruby in color, it has classic aromas of blackcurrant and blackberry, mint chocolate, juniper, grilled meats and graphite. The full-bodied palate is concentrated yet light on its feet with its energetic acidity and rounded tannins, and all that freshness draws out its floral perfume on the long finish. I love this elegant style that offers generosity with restrained ripeness. - EB

The 2021 Syrah Eddie's Patch is fabulous. Dark, expansive and super-expressive, the 2021 offers up an exotic mélange of black fruit, chocolate, spice, licorice and espresso. The 30% stems are buried by the luxurious intensity of the fruit. All of this fruit is from Hoppe-Kelly, a small vineyard on Limerick Lane. This turned out beautifully. -- Antonio Galloni

Saturated purple with a ruby tinge, the 2021 Syrah Eddie's Patch is lifted with cracked black pepper, fresh violets, blackberry, and a hint of wet asphalt. This full-bodied red has ripe, fleshy, mouth-coating fruit, with black raspberry preserve, ripe tannins, and a velvety texture. It’s long on the palate and has a rounded feel, with an underlying structure and earthy notes of tea leaves. Drink 2025-2040.
