Terre Rouge Cotes de l’Ouest Syrah 2018

Syrah/Shiraz from California

Winemaker Notes

We harvested theses Syrah sites at a bit later in this cooler, calendar year of 2018 – exactly on the 25th of September at
24.5 to 25.0˚ brix. The berry size was a bit smaller in 2018, and we co-fermented the Syrah with a bit of Viognier in each
fermenter to finesse the wine as we always try to do with this cuvée. The grapes were lightly-crushed and fermented in
our larger tanks and irrigated to minimize tannin extraction and aged 17 months in 20% new and 80% used French oak
barrels. The finished wine is 96% Syrah and 4% Viognier. It was bottled at the end of March in 2020. We think this is
always one of the best Syrah values in the market!

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with char-grilled steak, peppercorn-crusted tuna, or grilled vegetables
