The Cure is always an encapsulation of the vintage in one bottle. In 2022, Syrah gives the blend a dense concentration and balance. This wine is explosive with black fruit, notes of violets and earthy edge. It's packed with tons of opulence and a long- lasting finish.

 

The wine rested for 19 months in 42% new French oak 

 

"... Deep garnet-purple colored, notes of blackberry pie, plum pudding, and black cherry compote spill from the glass, leading to hints of garrigue and lilacs. The full-bodied palate is rich and dense with black fruit and savory layers, supported by ripe, rounded tannins, finishing with a refreshing lift." -95 pts | Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

“The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity ... complemented by savory notes of blackberries, herbes de Provence and dark chocolate. Very balanced and fresh with a savory edge.” -94 pts | James Suckling

-93 pts | Wine Enthusiast

“...  terrific, with spicy black fruits, pepper, and some earthy, truffly notes in its big, fruit-loaded, opulent profile. I love its overall balance, and it has a layered, seamless mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.” -92-94 pts | Jeb Dunnuck
