Larry Hyde & Sons Vineyard Syrah
Not my favorite Phelps Syrah. Not sure why…a bit rough around the edges…maybe older than I prefer???…I usually like this wine.

Jun 19th, 2022Nose of blueberry, warm spices, dark chocolate, cured meat, and hint of violet. Full body. Dense yet lively on the palate. Plush tannins. Long elegant finish.
95% Syrah from Carneros and 5% Viognier from St. Helena, co-fermented.
Deliciously approachable, but will age gracefully for 10-15 years.
