Syrah/Shiraz from Fiddletown, Sierra Foothills, California

Winemaker Notes

The wine has delicious and savory Syrah fruit characteristics, great transparency and purity, with a compelling mineral focus from the vineyard site. It drinks well now, but should gain in character and complexity over the next several years.

Wine Enthusiast – 93 Points

This wine is not too fat and not too lean, finding a great balance point between vivid fruit and black-pepper flavors and firm tannins and acidity. Little or no oak comes through in the taste, but an engaging earthy, funky, sage-like element does, making it unusually complex and interesting to sip.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with wild game and smoked meats, as well as harder and stinky cheeses.
