Lewis Cellars Alec's Blend 2021

95 points Jeb Dunnuck The 2021 Alec's Blend is mostly Syrah (there's some Merlot, Petite Sirah, and Cabernet Franc) and its deep purple hue is followed by a gorgeous perfume of blackberries, blueberries, camphor, ground pepper, and hints of bacon fat. It's full-bodied and has remarkable purity, fine tannins, and a great finish. Drink this incredibly sexy, hedonistic beauty over the coming decade. 92 points The Wine Independent   Composed of 79% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 3% Petite Sirah, and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Alec's Blend is deep garnet-purple in color. Scents of black cherries, stewed black plums, and mulberries spill from the glass, followed by hints of tar and cracked black pepper. The full-bodied palate is chock full of peppery black fruits with approachable, rounded tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and savory.
