Lillian Gold Series #3 Syrah 2013  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Vinous -
Inky ruby. Powerful, smoke-accented black and blue fruit liqueur, incense, exotic spice and potpourri scents carry a potent mineral overtone. Deeply concentrated, expansive and alluringly sweet, offering palate-staining blackberry, boysenberry, cola and violet pastille flavors and hints of star anise, allspice and bitter chocolate. Distinctly rich but energetic as well. The impressively long finish features sneaky, building tannins and insistent florality.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Maggie Harrison's ode to her former employer Sine Qua Non is simply stunning. She clearly was paying attention to Manfred and Elaine becuase she is fully channeling them in this fantastic bottling. With nearly 7 years in bottle this is really starting to show its stuff. Killer sourcing, killer winemaking, killer juice! Oh, and extremely rare to find outside the winery mailing list.

About the Producer

During the seventh of Maggie's eight years of training in the cellar at Sine Qua Non, the opportunity presented itself to make wine from a small portion of the top of the White Hawk Vineyard. She bottled 150 cases of 2004 Lillian syrah, her inaugural vintage. Since that time, the project has grown in tiny increments, first by sourcing additional fruit from Stolpman and Bien Nacido Vineyards in 2007, offering her first roussanne and ros? wines in 2013 and then, in 2014, she introduced her first Cabernet Sauvignon from True Vineyard on Howell Mountain.
