Tasting notes
The 2019 Syrah The Rocks blossoms in the glass with crushed stone and white smoke, giving way to dusty florals, black olives and grilled sage. Lifted and finessed, this hovers weightlessly with crisp red berries and savory spices, tapering off with a crunchy sensation toward the close. Grippy tannins take hold as a bump of residual acidity maintains fantastic energy, finishing impossibly long, potent, and remarkably fresh. The 2019 Syrah The Rocks refined for twenty-one months in all neutral barrels.

The 2019 Syrah was vinified with 50% whole clusters, spent 35 days on skins and matured for 22 months. It has classic aromas of green olive, cracked pepper, grilled meats and blackcurrants. The medium-bodied palate is restrained and elegant with generous, crunchy fruit, supple tannins, seamless acidity and a long, violet-laced finish.
