Checking in as a mix of 75% Syrah from Bien Nacido and 25% Grenache from Larner, with the Syrah raised in new oak and the Grenache in 50% new oak (it was blended just before bottling), the 2013 Syrah / Grenache Kokoro has tons of Bien Nacido characteristics in its smoky, mineral, peppery and meaty black fruits. This gives way to a supple, pure and elegant wine that has fine tannin, no hard edges and a silky finish that drops off just a touch quickly. Drink this total sexpot of a wine over the coming 5-6 years.
