"The 2016 Syrah Grande Sonoma County is fabulous. Dark, inky and yet also wonderfully vibrant, the 2016 captures all the best signatures of the Donelan style in a Syrah that is wonderfully polished right out of the gate. Black cherry, tobacco, spice, menthol, licorice and new leather build over time. Bright saline notes underpin it all, adding notable freshness and vibrancy. The 2016 is beautifully done from start to finish."
