Tasting notes
The 2019 Syrah Rattlesnake Rock shows the more elegant side of Syrah in its restrained aromatics and finessed, mid-weight personality. Crushed rose petal, mint, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco all grace this silky, wonderfully expressive Syrah. The 2019 is all class.

From old vines right around the estate in the Santa Cruz Mountains, the 2019 Syrah Rattlesnake Rock reveals a medium ruby/purple hue to go with spicy, meaty notes of red and black fruits, sagebrush, pepper, bacon fat, and leather. This is classic, gamey, incredible Syrah all the way, and it's medium-bodied, has bright yet integrated acidity, terrific balance, and a great finish. As with all of Bradley's wines, it's more about balance and elegance than power.
