as well as finessed tannins to round out the finish

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a big-time winner

The wonderfully refined medium-bodied flavors possess very good concentration as well as good length on the youthfully austere and slightly lean but not angular finish

Cayuse, Armada Syrah other_regions later than in other vintagesThis 2. 8ha vineyard was planted in 2001, with vines grafted on rootstock because Baron expected phylloxera to arrive eventually, which happened in 2019. The wine is all Syrah, with aromas that veer towards the meaty, smoky, bacon fat spectrum of the variety. Right now the flavours are tightly wound, deep and intense, but also pure and juicy, with a smooth, almost syrupy, satiny texture.
