True Believer Wines Reserve 2016

Lastly, the 2016 Reserve is a more Syrah-dominated cuvée that includes 36% Grenache, 9% Mourvèdre, and 2% Viognier. It's the deepest colored red in the lineup and boasts a brilliant perfume of blackberries, cured meats, toasted spice, scorched earth, and chocolate. Brilliantly textured, full-bodied, and massively concentrated, it stays elegant, lively, and perfectly balanced. It reminds me of a Syrah that John Alban might make. Drink it any time over the coming 15 years or more.
