Syrah 2020

94 points, Paul Gregutt, "Nothing shy here. Ripe, full, packed with marionberry and black cherry fruit, this also brings some floral aromatics, savory highlights and polished tannins. There’s a firm streak of vanilla though no indication that any new barrels were used. I don’t know if the winery plans to release a 2020 reserve Syrah, but it would be surprising if it could top this." - - - 91 points, Wine Enthusiast, "Abacela may be known for Tempranillo, but they're not exactly slouches at Syrah. Which may explain how they made a 15.1% abv wine feel relatively light on its feet. The aromas are those of a rich black-cherry muffin with vanilla frosting. The flavors are darker, with tart blackberries joining dark chocolate and almonds." - Michael Alberty
