Description

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 94
The 2016 Syrah Howell Mountain is still a youthful ruby/plum hue and has an attractive nose of ripe blackberries, peppery herbs, damp earth, and candied violets. It's beautifully textured, medium-bodied, has integrated acidity, and a great finish. This complex, nuanced, elegant, Cornas-like beauty has another decade of prime drinking. Drink 2025-2035.
