This is a high-test Valpolicella

vineyard dust and culinary spice

with great freshness and clarity of fruit expression allied to silky tannin

It's a bit reductive from the recent bottling some three months before I tasted it

tightly-knit tannins

2023 | Arnot-Roberts Clary Ranch Syrah | Sonoma Coast Frappato This is a high-test ValpolicellaThe 2023 Syrah Clary Ranch is an especially wild, animalistic Syrah. Black pepper, game, incense, licorice and iron are some of the nuances that unfold with air. At 11% in alcohol, the 2023 is lacking in mid palate density, and yet it is a very distinctive wine in its own way. Anthony Galloni
