The Land
Sourced from esteemed vineyards such as Castelli-Knight Ranch, Griffin's Lair, Armagh, Nellessen, Hawks Butte, and Alder Springs, this Syrah reflects the North Coast's varied microclimates and soils. The region's cool climate imparts a distinctive character to the wine, with the coastal fog and temperate conditions fostering a slow, even ripening of the Syrah grapes. This results in a wine that balances vibrant acidity with concentrated fruit flavors.
The Wine
100% Syrah, this wine underwent whole cluster fermentation and was aged for 10 months in neutral French oak puncheons, allowing the purity of the fruit to shine. On the nose, it offers aromas of ripe blueberries, crushed violets, and black pepper. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy, featuring flavors of black licorice, tar, and pomegranate liqueur. The wine exhibits a lovely balance of fruit, spice, and earth, with spicy tannins adding a delicious firmness that promises a long and graceful evolution.
