Reviewed May 2019Coming from the highest point in the Boushey vineyard and a mix of Syrah clones, the 2016 Motor City Kitty Old Field Boushey Vineyard was fermented all in concrete (no destemming) and brought up in neutral oak. Game, olives, white pepper, and darker fruits all emerge from this Côte Rôtie look-alike. With medium to full-bodied richness and a layered texture, it’s one of the greatest values out there, so if you see a bottle, you should buy it.

James Suckling
From the Oldfield-Boushey Vineyard, this has a deep color and a wild, exotic nose with such peppery complexity. Really intense palate with depth and focus. The dark plums and blackberries are striking and the pepper continues here and there’s an expansive feel to the finish. It builds and holds in impressive, bold and confident form.

Int'l Wine Cellar
Almost port-like on first sniff, with black raspberry, campfire and olive tapenade aromas accented by black pepper. At once plush and energetic in the mouth, with intense, well-delineated dark fruit flavors complicated by a savory meatiness. Fat but not overly sweet, this Syrah finishes with a broad dusting of tannins and a note of chocolate.
