DuMOL Syrah RRV Wild Mountainside 2024

CRITICAL ACCLAIM:

“Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2024 Syrah Wild Mountainside bursts with intense scents of wild blueberries and black raspberries, giving way to hints of peppered salami, rose oil, and fertile loam. The medium- to full-bodied palate delivers a compelling chewiness to the texture, with seamless acidity and layers of peppery, savory flavors on the finish.” - 95 PTS., LISA PERROTTI-BROWN, THE WINE INDEPENDENT (05/2026)

WINERY NOTES:

OVERVIEW: “Rivals 2021 for the finest vintage of our perennial DuMOL-insider favorite. Compare this in quality, personality, and sheer deliciousness to a range of $100 Napa Cabernets, and I’ll wager there’s only one winner. Bright and vibrant enough to pair with spicy BBQ, and deep and rich enough to accompany the richest winter stew; the wine is incredibly versatile. Its wild exotic aromas and deep pastille-like core of brambly, spicy fruit push the wine into irresistible territory. Decanting or drinking over two nights is highly recommended. I’ll be enjoying this bottling for years to come.”

TASTING: “Heady aromas and deep flavors akin to violets, white and black pepper, dried Provencal herbs, blackberry liqueur, Kalamata olive, and mocha.”
