2020 Kongsgaard, Syrah, California 1x750ml

Vinous 91

The 2020 Syrah Hudson Vineyard is another huge, hulking wine from John and Alex Kongsgaard. Black fruit, leather, spice, incense and black pepper all saturate the palate. This potent, virile Syrah packs a huge punch. Swaths of tannin enshroud a core of black fruit, chocolate, lavender, spice and dried herbs. There’s not a ton of subtlety here. Let’s see how this ages.
