Displaying a deep ruby core and magenta rim, the 2018 Syrah en Cerise bursts with elements of smoked meats, black pepper, umami, dried tobacco and smoked pipe before elements of black raspberry, dusty cherry and spiced plum compote sway out of the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the palate shows impeccable balance with a fine mineral tension followed by elements of smoked herbs, dusty lavender and hints of summer sausage across the mid-palate with youthful tannins. The wine concludes with a wonderfully expressive finish with elements of roasted herbs, cold firepit and cured meats. The wine should continue to drink well for the next decade. The wine rested for 19 months in approximately 15% new French oak. Just under 4,800 bottles were made. Drink date: 2021 - 2036. Anthony Mueller

Brooding aromas of raspberry, green stem, ember, sea salt, funk, grilled meat, hoisin sauce and blood are followed by potpourri and red fruit flavors that completely coat the palate. It shows a lot of grace and appeal, carrying on the flower- and olive-filled finish. Decant or give it some time in the cellar to see it at its best. Sean P. Sullivan
