Syrah/Shiraz from Sierra Foothills, California

Winemaker Notes

This is a deeply concentrated wine with dense layers of aromatic complexity. Loads of deeply-concentrated and incredibly spicy fruit aromas fill your glass. In the mouth you’ll find thick concentrated and riotous meaty Syrah flavors, smoky wood tones, exotic spices, mineral tones, and fine tannins. Great structure and aging potential.

Wine Enthusiast – 96 Points

Smoky, earthy, anise and dark-chocolate aromas give way to concentrated, layered black-plum, clove and blackberry flavors as this full-bodied wine seems to expand on the palate. Its texture is richly tannic and the mouthfeel is generous, prolonging the lush flavors on the finish. A perennial standout, this wine has proven it can age well. Best after 2025.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with char-grilled steak, peppercorn-crusted tuna, and grilled vegetables, such as eggplant, tomatoes, or zucchini.
