Vineyard Notes
Mother Nature was generous and mild in 2016, gracing Napa Valley with
a near-perfect growing season. Moderate weather throughout July and
August was followed by slightly warmer temperatures as harvest inched
closer, bringing the grapes to optimum ripeness before being handharvested in mid-October.
Production Notes
We aged this Syrah for 20 months in 50% new French oak to soften the tannins, create complexity, and add depth to the wine’s generous body. The barrels also impart intriguing vanilla and spice attributes to complement the intense dark fruit characteristics.
Tasting Notes
We often describe our Syrah as “bursting with personality,” and the
2016 vintage is no exception. Dense and earthy with black plums, rich forest berries, and hints of vanilla and white pepper, this bold wine is like fireworks in your mouth. Full-bodied and firmly structured, the flavors and finish seem to unfold endlessly.
Food Pairing Notes
This wine pairs well with rich, hearty meats such as braised lamb shanks or sweet and spicy baby back ribs. For a cheese course, try Abbaye de Belloc, a sheeps milk cheese with a mild, nutty flavor.
