Jeff Cohn Cellars Description

Winemaker Notes

Deep scarlet red with shades of purple. Aromas of black cherry, hot cinnamon stick, slightly gamy with dried Herbs de Provence, dark chocolate nibs and rose petal. A voluptuous mouthfeel that is oozing with red and blue fruits and layered in silky mix of savory and sweet fruit plus minerality that carries the wine to a long finish.

Blend: 67% Syrah, 33% Grenache

Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 PureYum is a blend of 67% Syrah and 33% Grenache from the Rockpile and El Diablo vineyards. It was made with 30% whole cluster and aged 18 months in 100% neutral French oak. Medium ruby, it has seductive aromas of red and black cherries, tobacco leaves, red flowers and graphite. The medium-bodied palate is silky, fresh and mineral-driven, with savory, graphite-laced character and a long finish.

The 2018 Syrah Pure Yum is mostly Syrah but includes one-third Grenache. It's a year-in, year-out winner, and the 2018 doesn't disappoint with its spicy, pepper, classic dark fruited, gamey Syrah aromas and flavors. Reminding me of a terrific Gigondas with its cedary spice and savory characteristics, it's medium to full-bodied, has a round, seamless texture, beautiful depth of fruit, and a great finish.

Wine Spectator
A racy, fun blend to sip, with lots of personality and jammy raspberry, kirsch and peppered herb flavors that finish with plump tannins.

Wine Enthusiast
Thick and caramelized like bacon, this grippy blend offers lush red fruit, thick tannin, oak and black and white peppery spice. The power and ripeness are met by bustling freshness, too.

Connoisseurs' Guide
Mildly meaty and graced with a light bit of spice but principally focused on ripe berries and plums, this moderately full-bodied mix of Syrah and Grenache conveys a good sense of fruity heft with enlivening acidity lending brightness and well-measured tannins providing a nice bit of grip. It is not too edgy or astringent to dissuade drinking in the near term, but it will clearly benefit from time in the cellar. It should round into its best some three or four years down the line and is sure to keep nicely for at least as many more.
