94+ Antonio Galloni - Vinous

The 2012 Suzuri Syrah Soberanes Vineyard has closed down quite a bit since I tasted it from barrel last year. Dark red plums, savory herbs, rose petals, mint, spices and orange rind are all very much alive in this striking Syrah. The 2012 stands out for its combination of expressive, varietal aromatics and plush fruit. As good as the 2012 is today, it should be even better in another year or so.
