Stock Syrah: The 2012 Syrah Stock has come together beautifully since I last tasted it a year ago. In particular, the Stock seems to have gained a measure of focus and precision I did not see back then. The inclusion of 32 whole clusters is felt in the wine's floral, savory aromatics and overall sense of freshness. The spherical, creamy finish alone is simply stunning. This is a fabulous showing. The 2012 is 84 Syrah, 7 Grenache, 6 Petite Sirah, 1 Mourvèdre and 2 Viognier, done with 32 whole clusters. The wine spent about 21 months in French oak, 52 new. Vineyard sources are 47 Eleven Confessions, 27 Cumulus, 17 Third Twin and 9 White Hawk.

Stock Syrah: A step up from the Grenache, the blockbuster-styled 2012 Syrah Stock checks in as a blend of 84 Syrah, 7 Grenache, 6 Petit Sirah, and the rest Viognier and Mourvedre, that was fermented with 32 whole clusters and aged in just over half new French oak. It offers stunning notes of blackcurrants, cassis, smoked meats, ground pepper and wild herbs to go with a full-bodied, unctuous, layered, yet always graceful and elegant feel on the palate. Nicely structured, with perfect overall balance, it still has the open-knit character of the vintage, yet has plenty of underlying structure, which at the moment is slightly hidden by the wine's lavish fruit. It will be better in 2-3 years, and have two decades of overall longevity.
