Seeing 30% whole clusters, the deep purple-colored 2018 Syrah Hilltops is another vibrant, cool-climate style Syrah with loads to love. Blackberries, black raspberries, ground pepper, violets, and a touch of cured meat all emerge from the glass, and it's beautifully polished, with a great texture, ripe tannins, and the balance to evolve for 10-12 years or more.
