I tasted the 2021 Syrah Distenta III as a precise blend from barrel on July 6—it’s due to be bottled in August. It comes from three estate vineyards: The Third Twin (51%), Cumulus (26%) and 23% Eleven Confessions (23%). The Syrah is blended with 11.3% Grenache, 3.3% Mourvèdre, 2.1% Petite Sirah, 0.9% Petit Manseng and 0.7% Muscat and was vinified using 21% whole clusters. It matured around 23 months in 53% new French oak, 43% one- to three-year-old barrels and 4% concrete. Opaque ruby-purple in the glass, the Distenta III’s aromatic complexity requires plenty of patience, as a singular truffle, earth and coffee bean character gives way to electric streaks of crème de violette, blueberry liqueur and peppermint patty. The palate is medium to full-bodied and exceptionally light on its feet. It glides silkily through the mouth with fireworks of freshness, and its floral fruit is tempered by graphite tones. Around 1,880 cases and 600 magnums are projected to be released in January of 2024. (Erin Brooks). 4 Août 2023, 98/100 Wine Advocate

Il est issu de trois vignobles du domaine : The Third Twin (51%), Cumulus (26%) et 23% Eleven Confessions (23%). La Syrah est assemblée avec 11,3% de Grenache, 3,3% de Mourvèdre, 2,1% de Petite Sirah, 0,9% de Petit Manseng et 0,7% de Muscat et a été vinifiée à partir de 21% de grappes entières. Il a vieilli environ 23 mois dans 53 % de chêne français neuf, 43 % de fûts de un à trois ans et 4 % de béton. Pourpre rubis opaque dans le verre, la complexité aromatique du Distenta III demande beaucoup de patience, car un caractère singulier de truffe, de terre et de grain de café cède la place à des stries électriques de crème de violette, de liqueur de myrtille et de galette de menthe poivrée. La bouche est moyennement corsée à corsée et exceptionnellement légère sur ses pieds. Il glisse soyeux en bouche avec un feu d'artifice de fraîcheur, et son fruit floral est tempéré par des tonalités de graphite. Environ 1 880 caisses et 600 magnums devraient être commercialisés en janvier 2024.
