The 2018 Syrah Lolita Ranch has a singular personality this year, its dark cassis fruit energized by sparks of Morello cherries, ground coffee and pure violet perfume. Full-bodied, the palate is surprisingly intense and fresh, with well-defined flavors and an incredibly long finish. There's so much more hiding underneath that veneer of youthful fruit, so allow it plenty more time in the cellar. Only 91 cases were made.
