Sonoma Coast Syrah
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
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.

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.

Rich and intense. This wine was bursting with lots going on. Fruity and floral at once. Such a giving wine.

Gorgeous Syrah. Great purity of fruit and expression of the more floral side of the varietal. Low alcohol, medium-bodied and elegant with lingering acidity. It’s so refreshing to taste these wines, devoid of new oak and heavy extraction. Pursuit of balance attained in Sonoma Coast.

The 2015 Syrah (Sonoma Coast) is another of the many highlights in this range from Arnot-Roberts. Inky and intense, and yet light on its feet, the 2015 has it all. Violet, lavender and black pepper add aromatic nuance. The 2015 was done with 100% whole clusters, but the stems aren't especially noticeable. This is a fabulous wine from Duncan Arnot and Nathan Roberts. Even better, it is a stunning value. Don't miss it! (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Mar 2017)

Nov 21st, 2020Fantastic as usual from arnot roberts. Cool red fruit, lavender, touch of spice from stems. Very pure and precise. Will keep my other bottle stashed away for a bit.
