Tasting notes
Leading off the Syrah releases, the 2018 Syrah Purisima Mountain Vineyard is a larger production cuvée that was all destemmed and aged 18 months in barrel. Its deep ruby color is followed by a spicy, peppery Syrah with plenty of gamey, bacon fat notes, medium to full body, a rounded, supple texture, and a great finish. Drink this classy, character-filled Syrah over the coming 4-6 years.

The 2018 Syrah Purisima Mountain Vineyard is a fabulous wine that captures the essence of Ballard Canyon. Dark cherry, pepper, spice, leather and tobacco are all signatures of a Syrah that balances power, finesse and energy. Lavender, sage and dried herb overtones add an attractive savory character to the finish.
