Radio Coteau Las Colinas Syrah 2015

The first nose of the 2015 Las Colinas Syrah brings blueberry, blackberry, and a hint of sweet cherry to mind, which is further reinforced when quaffed. A small trace of fig on the palate completes the tour de fruit as earthier aromas are invoked. Complementing the strong fruit character, an equally vocal mineral tone of crushed rock is not to be ignored. As the wine develops, fresh thyme and rosemary mingle with allspice and cracked black peppercorns. A chiseled, lithe texture partners seamlessly with firm, savory tannin.

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck    In addition to brilliant Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, this estate makes a bevy of beautiful Syrahs, most seeing a small amount of whole clusters and 18-19 months in 20-30% new French oak. Côte Rôtie-like raspberry, bacon fat, smoked earth, and graphite emerge from the 2015 Syrah Las Colinas, which is medium-bodied, seamless, and elegant on the palate. A blend from Cherry Camp, Timberline, and Dusty Lane, it's pure class and I suspect will keep for 10-15 years.
