The 2016 Petite Syrah Lytton Springs is another fabulous wine in this range. Dense and powerful, the 2016 is endowed with striking depth and tons of character. The Petite tannins are nicely tamed in a wine that offers superb quality and pedigree. Creme de cassis, graphite, lavender and mint are front and center. The 2016 remains quite primary though, so readers need to be patient.

The 2016 Petite Sirah Lytton Estate reveals aromas of crushed currants, currant leaf and raspberries, framed by new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, chewy and richly tannic, with a juicy core of fruit but considerable structure. Cellar it for 5 or 6 years and follow it for a decade or more.

Dense and rather bitter, with low-key currant and dill flavors. Best after 2019. 2,500 cases made.
