2018 Syrah Howell Mountain this vineyard is a gem

this vineyard is a gem

kirsch and blood orange lend an exotic flair

but it all works well

With its scant ton per acre production

The historic Park Muscatine vineyard on Howell Mountain was chosen in part because Mike has known this vineyard since his childhood

2018 Syrah Howell Mountain this vineyard is a gemFrom our 1 acre vineyard at 2100 elevation, this is our boldest expression of Howell Mountain. 93 points, Vinous "Retro's 2018 Syrah is powerful and massively tannic to the core. Inky dark fruit, black pepper, gravel, incense and spice build in the glass, framed by incisive tannins that wrap it all together. The 2018 is a beast of a wine. I wouldn't dream of touching a bottle anytime soon."
