2021 Aspire

87% Syrah, 13% Grenache       $88
This wine exudes luxury. A wine of power and opulence, Aspire is made up of all but one block of Syrah grown on the property, with a beautiful lift from 13% Grenache.  Housed for 22 months in 68% new French oak, it bestows impeccably integrated oak spice, vanilla, and clove, with concentrated primary blackberry, sweet black cherry, plum and blueberry fruit. There is tremendous complexity in this young wine showing hints of leather, graphite, cracked Szechuan pepper, with an almost villainous crimson core. Supple acidity and ample velvety-soft tannins accentuate the luxurious mouthfeel as the wine glides across the palate. The finish is long and sumptuous, with a peak in fresh acidity from Grenache, giving the power and density of this wine an effortless perception.
