Summary

The Christopher Tynan Wines Syrah from the Judge Family Vineyard is a micro-production red wine crafted in the cool, volcanic terrain of Sonoma's Bennett Valley. This wine is a product of the challenging 2015 drought, resulting in low yields and concentrated flavors. Aged in French oak without fining or filtering, it showcases a robust and powerful character, marked by classic Syrah elements such as meaty dark fruits, ground pepper, and hints of scorched earth. The wine is full-bodied with a tight structure and firm tannins, indicating its potential for long-term aging. It represents a benchmark for cool-climate Syrah in California.
