Deep purple with flashes of cherry red, the 2021 Limited Syrah boasts subtle hints of herbal notes, including fenugreek mingling with laurel, and a whisper of nutmeg. Cherry blossom and violets peek through, adding floral elegance and hinting at the wine's captivating bouquet. The first sip reveals a full-bodied mouthfeel with nutty flavors of roasted sunchokes and sun-baked tomatoes. Hazelnuts emerge on the mid-palate, providing a savory counterpoint to the hints of licorice, creating a delightful interplay. A touch of Viognier, added to the Syrah after fermentation, contributes a creamy texture framed by smooth tannins. This makes our Limited Syrah linger luxuriously on the tongue, delivering a delicious velvety finish.
De-stemmed and hand-sorted to 1.5 ton fermenters, fermented for 14-21 days. Barreled down to 100% French oak, approximately 35% new and aged for 20 months.
