Tasting notes
The 2013 Syrah, which is aged 16 months in neutral French oak, comes from the Sonoma side of their vineyards. It is a full-bodied, inky purple wine with good density, plenty of plum, blackberry, pepper and steak tartare notes. There is even a floral element, which may be attributable to the 1.5% Viognier that is co-fermented with the Syrah. This wine tips the scales at about 14.7% alcohol, which is in keeping with what most of their wines tend to be potency-wise, as they range from about 14.4 to 14.9%.

A deep, inky wine, the 2013 Syrah offers tons of density and pure power. Black pepper, plums, smoke, licorice and dark spices all meld together in the glass. This is an especially ripe, sumptuous Syrah built on bold fruit and textural creaminess.
