Wilde Farm Halcon Syrah 2016 (92 VM)

“The 2016 Syrah Halcon Vineyard is bold, powerful and also quite rustic. There is no shortage of depth or intensity to the wild, feral flavors. Game, smoke, tobacco, incense, licorice and iron all add layers of nuance. Time in the glass helps the wine come together, but this is a decidedly gamy, rustic style with plenty of cool-climate and hillside character.”
