Bien Nacido Estate, Syrah 2020 750ML AmericanWest26 ImpressiveThe 2020 Syrah Estate Bien Nacido Vineyard is a powerful, dense wine. Firm tannins wrap around a core of inky blue purplish fruit. Severe late season heat is felt in the wine's potent, large scaled tannins. It will be interesting to see where this goes. Lavender, licorice, cloves and leather add to an impression of somber intensity. I am not sure if the tannins will ever soften here.
