Wine Advocate, 94 Points
“Co-fermented with 13% Viognier, the 2019 Syrah Sonoma Coast has intense aromas of red and black currants, game meats, green olive and coffee beans plus a waft of eucalyptus. The medium-bodied palate is approachable and nuanced with grainy tannins and seamless freshness as it moves through the mouth, and it has a long, juicy finish. It’s very easy to drink and will pair widely at the table.”
“The 2019 Syrah Sonoma Coast has soft floral aromas of lavender as well as bergamot and lightly spiced plum. It is supple and fruit-forward on the palate without being weighed down and offers notes of fresh blackberry and spice.”
Winemaker Notes:
“The 2019 vintage is comprised of 55% Cole Creek Vineyard and 45% Rodgers Creek Vineyard. Our Syrahs are grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast which offers a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhone regions of Hermitage and Cornas: aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit, coupled with a silky texture and savory flavor.”
Alcohol: 13.5%
