Rhys Vineyards, Syrah Horseshoe Vineyard, 2018
Rhys is best known for chasing Burgundian elegance through mountain farming, but the Horseshoe Syrah is the estate's Northern Rhone sleeper. From the high, protected, stony Horseshoe vineyard near the spine of the Santa Cruz Mountains, this is cool-climate Syrah grown at low yields, prized for savory aromatics, freshness and finesse over brute power. This 2018 is still young and built to age, so give it a long decant now or hold it for years. A serious, characterful California Syrah for fans of Cornas and Cote-Rotie.
