Beckmen Clone #1 Syrah 2014

Robert Parker, Jr.s Wine Advocate: "Slightly less aromatic than the Block 6, which is a touch more high toned, the 2014 Syrah CloneNo 1 Purisima Mountain (100 percent Syrah aged 16 months in 45 percent new French oak) reveals terrific, meaty, savory notes of black fruits, smoked earth, chocolateand caramelized meats. Rich, full-bodied, concentrated and nicely structured on the palate, it needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will keep through 2025."Aug 2016Winery: "Tiny yields of under 1 ton per acre and warm vintage conditions combine to create a wine of immense power and density.In fact, this is the most powerful Clone #1 bottling in several years. Meaty and savory, the hallmark of Clone #1, the 2015 shows tons of mineral infusedblack fruit and floral aromas and flavors. A bit tightly wound right now, the wine will benefit from a year or two of aging and will drink beautifullyfor 15-20 years. A real blockbuster vintage!"
