Winemaker Notes
The Andremily No.5 is a wildly stunning concoction made up of 91% Syrah from our usual sources, coupled with a bit of fruit from the Harrison-Clark Vineyard. This mouthwatering blend includes 6% Mourvedre, and is finished off with a pinch of Viognier to send the aromatics of this beauty into the stratosphere. The 2016 Andremily No.5 bursts from the glass with a nose full of Violets, Blackberry, Chocolate, and exotic spice. No.5 is full figured, yet structured and refined, having enjoyed 22 months in 70% New French Barrique, and bottled without fining or filtration.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Based on 91% Syrah, 6% Mourvèdre, and the rest Viognier, fermented with 40% stems, all raised 22 months in 60% new French, the inky colored 2016 No 5 gives up a gorgeous bouquet of blackcurrants, olives, scorched earth, camphor, and ground pepper. Deep, rich, incredibly powerful, yet also pure, balanced, and seamless, with good acidity, it builds on the palate, has no hard edges, and delivers a blockbuster finish. It needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will keep for two decades.
