Syrah 2022
Dried floral aromatics of rose petal and lavender are accompanied by black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry. Pepper and smoky tobacco round out our Syrah 2022. The wine saw 100% stem inclusion with approximately 30% whole cluster during fermentation prior to aging in neutral Hungarian and French oak barrels for nine months. Pair with barbeque meats and vegetables.
"An unapologetically spicy Syrah, it explodes with ground peppercorn, clove and bay leaf. Only later do you notice the fresh cranberry and cherry fruit is very much there, too. A seam of racy acidity slices and dices the midweight palate. Here the tart red fruit really shines, succulent with a cool-climate crunch, tied in a bow with sappy, spice-flecked tannins.
