“This is definitively softer bodied Syrah from a cooler, more coastal climate. The nose displays violets, pepper, black tea and plum, while the palate brings an acid driven wave of clove, black olive, blackberry and orange peel flavors. Drink this with roasted lamb or other game meat.” 
Winemaker Notes: 
“The 2021 growing season proved ideal for our coastal Syrah; cool, moderate and consistent. Hand harvested in mid-October, fruit for Our Sonoma Coast Syrah bottling is composed of multiple clones, all fermented separately in small open top tanks. Utilizing moderate stem inclusion, gas & gravity flow, our wines were aged in 500L puncheons on lees for 18 months. Differing from our single vineyard bottling, the Sonoma Coast is a marriage of different clones, oak, and stem inclusion in an effort to showcase what our appellation has to offer. In the pursuit of harmony, we have crafted a wine of poise and character, representative of our unique area and worthy of aging.  Taste: Boysenberry, Black Pepper, Violets, Cedar.”
