Sonoma Coast Syrah

Dark in the glass and not playing around. A shocking amount of structure here. Elevated tannin and acid working in tandem with brooding, peppery fruit and a streak of citrus lurking beneath. Pair with lamb chops or a dry aged ribeye. Showed best after a few hours open.

Too austere for my tastes

Consistently excellent

After 4 days under vinvac it has blossomed Flowers, blackberries, hints of sage and earth are ethereal on the nose and the palate is structured with fruit and crushed rocks. Really cool. Was a little hesitant when it was all meat on day one through three.

Beautifully balanced Syrah. Nose has bright, ripe tiny red berry fruit, spiced raw beef, graphite, and a floral note. In the mouth it’s concentrated yet light on its feet and soft. Nice amalgam of sandstoney minerality and red berry fruit. Very nice acidity. Lingering finish. Nicely judged.

just so pretty. floral

Drinking in a beautiful place. Pure and transparent with enough sanguine structure to pair well with hunk of steak I threw against it.

Fantastic! Drank over two days and watched it grow up a bit. Came out of the bottle a little coy but really came alive. Medium bodied but with a meaty, greasy flavor, underpinned with wildflowers and spice. Terrifically balanced with lots of depth.

Too young and too much purple fruit. I could hear it saying 'let me grow up a little'. Nonetheless... delicious.

This was a treat. I brought this as a classic style of Syrah from Sonoma Coast for blind tasting night. Bright overtone red fruit, light funkiness, grilled meat character, and dried lavender. They may not have been known first for their Syrah, but they sure are ridiculously delicious. Worth every penny, and this one was a lil young, so worth aging as well.
