Arnot Roberts, Syrah 2022 Esprit de Pavie From the schist/gneis the Blaufränkisch

From the schist/gneis the Blaufränkisch gets warm

and white flower notes lead to a tense and slightly smoky palate

menthol and tobacco

The palate is round and rich with lots of lovely ripe berry fruit and black cherries with some peppery spicy notes to finish

apricot & subtle floral notes of honeysuckle & magnolia

Arnot Roberts, Syrah 2022 Esprit de Pavie From the schist/gneis the BlaufränkischBold, rich, and explosive. As is so often the case, the Syrah is flat out gorgeous. All elements are so well balanced. Juicy dark cherry, plum, sage, menthol, new leather, and lavender build into the dense, textured finish. Antonio Galloni, Vinous (92)
