2010 | Paul Lato Wines | Il Padrino Bien Nacido Vineyard Syrah

Full-bodied, dense, and seriously structured on the palate, with brilliant concentration, juicy acidity, masses of tannin, and an overall powerful.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: One of the Lato flagship wines, the 2010 Syrah Il Padrino Bien Nacido Vineyard is simply stunning in this vintage. Layers of rich, dark fruit burst from the glass in this expressive, nuanced wine. Hints of bacon fat, crushed rocks, spices and tapenade emerge over time, but readers will have to wait at least another year or two before the wine's full personality emerges. Lato made the Padrino with the addition of 5% Viognier and used 20% whole clusters, the first time he has used stems in Syrah. The 100% new oak barrels are beautifully integrated. This is another utterly majestic wine from Paul Lato. Paul Lato's wines are imbued with passion and personality. This is another superb set of wines from one of California's hottest under-the-radar producers.

• Vinous: That was certainly the case here. As they so often are, Paul Lato's 2010 Syrah Il Padrino Bien Nacido Vineyard was pure sophistication, elegance and class. A dash of Viognier and partial use of whole clusters came through in the wine's striking inner perfume. The audience loved it, and so did I.
