“Eleven Confessions Vineyard” Syrah 2022 is a cult, single-vineyard expression from the Sta. Rita Hills that delivers extraordinary depth, intensity, and precision. Built primarily on Syrah with small additions of Rhône varieties, it opens with explosive aromas of blackberry, cassis, violet, smoked meat, and exotic spice. The palate is powerful and full-bodied yet remarkably seamless, with layers of dark fruit, graphite, pepper, and floral lift framed by velvety tannins and vibrant underlying freshness. Aged extensively in French oak and crafted from low-yielding estate vines, this is a profoundly complex, age-worthy wine opulent yet balanced, and a benchmark for modern California Syrah.
