95 Boscoe 2015 La Fai Kimsey Vineyard Syrah (Ballard Canyon). This winery’s bottlings only seem to grow more interesting and elegant with time, and this vintage, which includes 11% Viognier, is riding its potentially extended peak. Aromas of nori wrap, peppercorn and seashore wrap around singed boar and muddled red fruit on the nose, while the palate pops with dried cranberry, orange rind, seared lamb and hibiscus. Editors’ Choice.
