Vines were planted the in early 2000’s in the Lowrey Vineyard – and while Pinot Noir gets all the attention and accolades this Syrah should be a close second … but it’s tops in my book. Aromas are smoked meat and black pepper all the way – start to finish – and it’s that richness of spice that’s the real coup here. Aged 24 months in all French (25% new) – it’s a real surprise wine from Lowrey and Five Rows, an eye-opener for what their site brings to the fruit … and if you’re one of those looking for fruit, give the wine 2-3 years to blossom … spicy-Syrah-lovers, drink now.
