The Story

Relentless is a wine that originates in a rugged, sloping vineyard planted within the chaparral foothills of the Vaca Mountains, along Napa Valley’s arid, cooler southeast corridor. For more than a decade this site has produced a consistently rich, elegant proprietary blend of Syrah and Petite Sirah.

Written Notes

Good looking normal size bottle, in an excellent condition and has by the neck level. Colour is purple, and looking healthy and deep. On the nose it is intense, wide, seductive, generous and fresh. The taste is vigor, fragrant, perfumed, with medium tannin, with silky tannins, and average in acidity, full-bodied, with satin texture, well-integrated, concentrated structure and developing. On the palate it is layered and has vanilla, nutty, new-oak, mushrooms, blackberry, meaty, port-like, smoky, violet, tropical fruits and truffles flavours. The finish is round, lingering, pure and spicy. This wine is transparent, fine and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 20-30 years, decant at least 2h before tasting and this is not a good invest wine. Good value for money. I do recommend.
