Marietta Gibson Block Syrah 2019 (750ml)
Product price
Description
Marietta Cellars' Gibson Block Syrah comes from McDowell Valley in Mendocino County, where old vines deliver concentrated, structured wines. This 2019 vintage is a full-bodied red built for the cellar and the table alike.
The wine opens with deep cassis and violet, layered with coffee, dark chocolate, aniseed, and mint. On the palate it's powerful and dense, with iron-edged dark fruit, chewy tannins, and enough brightness to keep things lively. Floral notes linger on the finish, balanced by spice, licorice, tobacco, and a hint of menthol. There's brooding intensity here, but it's never heavy, freshness runs through the whole experience. This is a wine that will age gracefully, though it's approachable now.

Expert Reviews
Deep ruby-purple, the 2019 Gibson Block Syrah has a core of cassis and soaring violet perfume with accents of coffee beans, dark chocolate, aniseed and mint. The full-bodied palate is powerful and concentrated with broody, iron-laced fruits, pleasantly chewy tannins and bright freshness elevating floral perfume on the finish.
The 2019 Gibson Block is a dense, brooding beauty. Dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice, tobacco and chocolate bring out the darker side of this old-vine Syrah/Grenache blend.
