Tasting notes
The 2022 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard is savory to the core, with ground pepper, flint, cloves, caraway seeds and crushed blackberries. It is soothingly round and more lifted in feel, with mineral-inflected red berry fruits underscored by salty mineral tones. A cascade of violet and lavender resonates as the 2022 finishes gently tannic and full of youthful tension, with hints of tart blackcurrant and spice pinching at the cheeks. I'm tempted to go even higher here, but only time will tell.

The 2022 Syrah En Cerise Vineyard is 100% varietal from ungrafted vines and is dark and exotic in tone. Licorice candy and violet lead to a sensual mouthfeel of refined tannin and well-integrated oak, the wine aged 18 months in 15-20% new French barrels. Salty salinity comes up against a meaty char component of iron, green tea, peat moss, and complex tension. There’s a powerful purity to the whole experience, which finishes complete. Cellar through 2042.
