Alban Vineyards Patrina - 93 Wine Advocate

One of the most spectacular Syrahs made anywhere.


We have a limited amount of only 36 bottles left



2010 Alban Vineyards Patrina Syrah....$49.99
First made in 2008, and available only through distribution (i.e. not via the mailing list), the 2010 Patrina is a perfect entry into the wines of the estate. Made from 100% Syrah (from a variety of estate vineyards) and aged two years in 70% new French oak, it’s one hell of an entry-level effort and boasts gorgeously pure aromatics (cassis, raspberry, flowers, spice), full-bodied richness and an overall layered, fresh profile that’s hard to resist. While it doesn’t have the back-end depth of the single vineyard releases, it doesn’t skimp on texture and length. Enjoy it over the coming 5-8 years. Drink now-2021. 
Rated 93/100 The Wine Advocate
