The 2021 Syrah G17 is a brooding, intense wine, its mid-weight structure notwithstanding. Dried herbs, menthol, licorice, lavender, and blackberry all open in the glass. This is an especially earthy, savory style, with fruit that sits more in the background. Dollops of Mourvèdre and Grenache round out the blend. —A.G.
What We Thought: Black cherries and black pepper frame the nose of this elegant, medium-bodied Syrah that displays a palate of more ripe black cherry and some blackberry fruit along with a deft balance of tannin and acid.
This is a fresh, fun, and yet still elegant Syrah that’s quite affordable. Aromas of black raspberry and light purple flowers show on the nose of this wine, that includes 8% Mourvèdre and 6% Grenache. The palate packs in dark strawberry, raspberry, rose, and violet flavors into a seamless package. —M.K.
