Only the softest Syrah in barrel makes the cut for this dense and powerful wine. The namesake pays homage to the calcareous soil in their vineyard, the limestone causes it to 'fracture.' Fracture is their most consistent wine and the1'9 vintage is no different. Inky black as always, it shows off intense aromas of graphite, gun powder, and blackberry cobbler. The flavors on the palate mirror the aromas and yet are almost completely eclipsed by the sheer weight, volume, and length of this graceful giant. The finish is even bigger than the previous 2017 or 2018 vintage with notes of double espresso and seared rib eye on the close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"reviewsContainer viewMoreModule\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"viewMoreModule_text viewMoreModule-reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_list\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_authorName\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 Points - James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipProfessionalReviews_review\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003eA serious syrah with black-ink, violet, blueberry and crushed-stone character.

It has a medium ruby-purple color with rich cassis on the nose, accented by nuances of tar, iron, bergamot and charcuterie. The medium-bodied palate has a silty structure and fresh acidity that highlights its spicy undertones, and it finishes very long. It's drinkable now but has a long life ahead in the cellar.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 Points - Wine Enthusiast\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pipSecContent_copy\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntensely dense aromas of black currant, elderberry, asphalt and charred meats show on the nose of this bottling.
