Reminiscent of the Northern Rhône regions of Hermitage and Cornas, this coastal bottling brings out the savory characteristics of the variety.
Grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast, the 2020 vintage comes entirely from Cole Creek Vineyard.
Harvest Date: Sept 9
Brix: 24.5˚ average
Soil: Very gravelly Felta clay loam, with some sections reaching up to 90% rock.
AVA: Sonoma Coast
Varietal Composition: 94% Syrah and 6% Viognier, co-fermented
Fermentation: Fermented in tank as 75% destemmed fruit with 25% whole clusters. Spontaneous, native-yeast and malolactic fermentations
Aging: After aging sur lies for 18 months in 45% new French barrels from François Frères, the Syrah was bottled without filtration in June 2022.
Flinty, charred aromas and rather lean, smoky, meaty flavors give this wine a dramatic, austere expression compared to the typical big and ripe California red. It’s an adventure in savory, peppery complexity to pair with grilled quail, roast venison or cassoulet.
