Heiner Lobenberg über:
Napa Syrah Relentless 2018

96–97
/100

Lobenberg: Dunkle Beerenliköraromen in der Nase, unterlegt mit Lakritz und rauchigen Aromen. Im Gaumen voll, samtig, super-extrahiert, reichhaltig, mit niedriger Säure aber dennoch erstaunlicher Frische, klarer Nordrhone-Stil, Typ Hermitage. 96-97/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Napa Syrah Relentless

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The 2018 Relentless might be the finest vintage of this I’ve tasted. Based on 90% Syrah and 10% Petite Sirah, this beauty boasts a saturated purple hue as well as a full-bodied array of ripe blackberries, peppery herbs, smoked game, and spring flowers. Pure, concentrated, and plush, it nevertheless stays graceful and light on its feet, with a great finish. I love it today, but it’s going to keep for 10-15 years. 97/100

Suckling über: Napa Syrah Relentless

-- Suckling: A young wine with superb depth and polish that shows great depth and brightness. Full and focused with blue fruit and long, fine tannins that are compact and energetic. Slate. Graphite. Sophisticated and curated. So beautiful to try now, but be patient and open after 2026. 97/100

Galloni über: Napa Syrah Relentless

-- Galloni: The 2018 Relentless is fabulous. I can't remember tasting a Relentless with so much aromatic intensity and finesse. An explosion of aromas and flavors makes a strong first impression. The richness of the fruit is remarkable, as is the level of polish winemaker Elias Fernandez has achieved. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, spice and menthol build as this full-bodied, opulent Syrah/Petite Sirah blend shows everything its got. 94-96/100

Shafer Vineyards

Shafer Vinyards im Stags Leap District ist zweifellos eine der amerikanischen Vorzeige-Stories schlechthin. John R. Shafer hing in den frühen 70er Jahren mit 50 seinen alten Bürojob als Marketing-Experte an den Nagel und wollte Wein machen.
