2023 '3' Syrah
100% Syrah
MAHA Estate and Kirk Landry
Inspired by the great Syrahs of rugged Roussillon and the northern Rhône Valley, “3” brings together the best of both worlds—floral and savory aromatics woven with lush, dark fruits and a generous palate. Brilliant ruby hues shimmer in the glass as a symphony of dark cherry, black pepper shortbread, violets, and petrichor emerge. The palate is energetic and rich with notes of blackberries, roasted chanterelles, purple flowers and limestone. Captivating and complex, it has you hooked and wanting more. While delish at the moment, a few years in the cellar will pay off in spades. Don’t let this one get away! Drink 2026-2040
“The 2023 Syrah Three smolders up from the glass with smoked meats, sage, black olives and crushed stone giving way to peppery blackberries. Sleek and racy yet quite textural, it reveals depths of mineral-inflected red and black fruits. The palate is saturated with savory spices and a coating of gripping tannins as nuances of rosemary slowly fade. The Three transports the taster to the northern Rhône.”
