SHAFER SYRAH "RELENTLESS", STAGS LEAP DISTRICT NAPA VALLEY 2015

Wine Advocate

95+ Points

Blended of 90% Syrah and 10% Petite Sirah, the deep purple-black colored 2015 Relentless has a total rock-star nose of flamboyant blackberry pie, plum preserves, mulberries and licorice scents with hints of Sichuan pepper, hoisin, Indian spices and smoked meats plus a waft of raspberry leaves. Very big, rich, full and decadently fruited in the mouth, the palate packs in black fruits and exotic spices layers with a firm, rounded tannin frame and just enough freshness to carry off the long, opulent finish. Drink 2018-2034. Lisa Perrotti-Brown 29th Oct 2018
