2009 Lagier Meredith Syrah - USA, California, Napa Valley, Mt. Veeder (10/15/2022)
Pretty surprised at the mixed reception this gets on CellarTracker. I thought this bottle was delicious. No decanting, as it replaced a bottle from a different producer that was corked. Loads of deep, dark berry fruit, rare meat and eventually a higher toned raspberry and lavender finish. Fine balance, so I have no worries about waiting on my last bottle. This should go on quite well for another 5-10 years with no problem. Nice way to commemorate the recent release of their 2020 Syrah, which is the next to last vintage.
