2016 Syrah Sonoma County
Wine Notes Print tech sheet
Decadence defines this rich, mouthfilling Syrah. Fans of our Rhône-inspired blends should definitely check out this savory, meaty wine. Syrah plays a supporting role in our popular Tenacity blend, but here it gets the opportunity to shine in the spotlight. Through his relationship with an acclaimed local grower, winemaker Erich Bradley accessed a pair of coveted Syrah vineyards with impressive pedigrees. The wines we’ve tasted so far from the 2016 vintage are proving difficult to resist in their youth, and this seductive Syrah is no exception. However, the smooth tannins and structure you’ll find here promise a long life ahead, perhaps 10 years or more.
