    Cattleya 2019 The Reward Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands)

    Dark aromas of crème de cassis meet with lovely violet on the nose of this bottling, whose density is offset by those floral tones. Firm tannins frame dark-fruit flavors on the palate, with more purple flowers and even a touch of charcoal providing balance. This manages to be dense without being overpowering. Drink 2023 through 2035.
