A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon

It was pretty fine next to some other greats here as well

A web of fine tannins coats the palate

The delicious medium weight flavors also possess very good underlying tension while displaying fine length on the youthfully austere and slightly firmer finale

Brilliant golden yellow with deep amber reflections

Bien Nacido Estate, Syrah 2020 750ML AmericanWest26 A blend of 84% CabernetThe 2020 Syrah Estate Bien Nacido Vineyard is a powerful, dense wine. Firm tannins wrap around a core of inky blue purplish fruit. Severe late season heat is felt in the wine's potent, large scaled tannins. It will be interesting to see where this goes. Lavender, licorice, cloves and leather add to an impression of somber intensity. I am not sure if the tannins will ever soften here.
