2018 Alban Vineyards Syrah Patrina Alban Estate Vineyard Edna Valley

"As to the 2018s, the 2018 Patrina is all Syrah and has a classic Alban, concentrated, full-bodied style as well as lots of black and blue fruits, notes of ground pepper, iodine and flowers, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. I always like to say this is a good introduction into the wines of John Alban, and while it is, it's certainly much more than that as well and is a stunningly good, singular Syrah." - Jeb Dunnuck Review Date: September 2021
