Syrah Hangman's 2019 Keplinger

Professional reviews

Vinous (96)

The 2019 Hangman's is mostly Syrah from Hudson, with a touch of Viognier. Intensely savory, cool-climate notes run through this potent, cool-climate Syrah. The Hangmans is not as immediate or voluptuous as the Fuegy y Mar (it can't be) but it offers quite a bit of character from one of the top sites in Carneros. A whole range of peppery and earthy undertones linger.

Another brilliant vintage for this cuvée, the 2019 Syrah Hangman's offers a beautiful bouquet of both red and blue fruits as well as classic cool-climate Syrah notes of bacon fat, violets, orange blossom, iron, and hints of tapenade. Full-bodied on the palate, it has a deep, layered, opulent mouthfeel, sweet tannins, no hard edges, and an incredible finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. This magical Syrah will stand up to anything coming out of California today. It should evolve for 10-15 years.
