2021 Syrah Alisos Vineyard
2021 Syrah Alisos Vineyard
Description
The 2021 Syrah Alisos Vineyard is fabulous. Sadly, this is the last vintage for this cuvee. Inky and explosive, with tremendous density, the 2021 offers a beguiling mix of dark fruit and cool climate savory notes that are woven deeply into the wine's fabric. This is one of the great wines of Santa Barbara. 96 pts Antonio Galloni
Unfortunately, the 2021 Syrah Alisos Vineyards marks the final chapter for this long-standing Kunin staple, as the site has been removed. On a more positive note, the last edition is a remarkable one, showcasing the most sophisticated and multidimensional wine in the Kunin lineup. The bouquet is immensely captivating, offering a crystal-clear blend of black and blue fruits, purple flowers and chalk-dust aromas rendered in high fidelity. On the palate, it melds a racy, sleek texture with inky, punchy density before closing with an impeccably balanced, staining, polished finish of immense saturation yet equal measure of vibrancy and energy—a modern classic expression of Santa Barbara County Syrah that has two decades ahead of it. 96 pts Robert Parker
