Lucia 2018 Susan's Hill Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)
Dense aromas of roasted red currant, plum and blueberry meet with cocoa and coffee on the dark and thick nose of this bottling from the Pisoni Vineyard. Lavish and creamy tannins greet the palate and then show a more regal and rigid face, framing flavors of charred meat, rosemary, wild sage and iodine, with dark-berry fruit and brisk acidity washing into the finish.
