Tasting Notes

W&S94

Our tasting panel immediately perked up at the captivating scent of this wine, an addictive mélange of lavender, juniper, meat, smoke and wood bark. In other words, it smells like syrah—really good syrah. While it’s endlessly complex, it’s not complicated—the tannins are silky, allowing bright coastal acidity to drive the aromas in a structure that’s as electric and mouthwatering as a blood orange. The fruit comes from a terraced south-facing slope of sandy Goldridge soil in Green Valley, fermented as whole bunches with a touch of viognier and aged in neutral barrels. While it may age well, it’s worth drinking a bottle or two now to catch its youthful energy.
