2022 Syrah Sonoma Valley

Wine Notes Print tech sheet

Our 2022 Sonoma Valley Syrah delivers intensity and depth with each sip. Showcasing the distinctive character of a single exceptional site atop the Bennett Valley region, one of the latest-ripening locations in the entire Sonoma Valley, this vintage captures the essence of cool-climate Syrah at its most expressive. Deliberately aged for 18 months exclusively in neutral oak to preserve its authentic voice, this wine celebrates the savory complexity that defines our approach to this ancient varietal, allowing the signature flavors and aromas to shine without masking them behind oak influence. The result is a wine of fantastic concentration and fine-grained tannin structure that echoes the celebrated Syrahs of the Northern Rhône Valley in France.

Suggestions

  • Smoked Gouda, Roquefort
  • Lamb gyros, smoked pork ribs, elk sausage
  • Grilled asparagus, sautéed mushrooms

What our team is saying:

"I love pairing Rhone varietals with grilled foods. With the depth and complexity we find in this Syrah, brisket is my #1 choice. Although, a stinky blue cheese burger topped with bacon and a little BBQ sauce wouldn’t go amiss."
