Tasting notes
The 2014 Syrah is made 100% from that variety, totally destemmed and again fermented with indigenous yeast, It goes through malolactic and is aged in 80% French oak. This is a small cuvée, but it’s a beautiful Northern Rhône-like Syrah, with notes of beef blood, bacon fat, tapenade, blackcurrant and blackberry fruit as well as a touch of creosote. It is medium to full-bodied, with impressive purity, texture and length. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

A dazzling wine, Hudson's 2014 Syrah is dense, powerful and explosive. Inky blue and blackish fruit, lavender, black pepper, sage and menthol make a strong first impression. Broad swaths of tannin give the wine its shape and overall energy. There is more than enough fruit to fill out the wine's broad frame. Vivid and utterly striking from the very first taste, the 2014 shows why Hudson is such a great site for Syrah.
