Padigan Syrah 2021

Wine Review Online

Padigan, Rogue Valley (Oregon) Syrah 2021: The Padigan team was at the top of its game with this 2021 Syrah. It is dark and with time in the glass reveals aromas that are leathery at first with cola but then adds intriguing notes of lavender and tobacco.

The 2021 Syrah pours an opaque, yet bright, red-ruby. The intense nose of bramble fruits, luscious dark berry, licorice, olive tapenade, and chocolate erupts immediately. On the palate the sweet, ripe blackberry and plum flavors meld with freshly tanned leather and spicy pipe tobacco. The finish is long and finely detailed with chiseled but refined tannins. We suggest grilled flank steak with a cayenne, cumin, all spice, and peppercorn dry rub. Enjoy 2024-2030.
