Gramercy Cellars Syrah Lagniappe
Named after a French/Cajun term meaning roughly "a little something extra", the 2013 Syrah Lagniappe is a stunning barrel sample that has classic Syrah notes of sappy herbs, spring flowers, pepper and ample darker fruits. Tight, focused, medium to full-bodied and elegant, it's another 2013 that will benefit from short-term cellaring. I think it's slightly behind the 2012, but still a gorgeous wine.
