Eponymous Syrah 2020 Napa Valley

Description: The striking deep purple color of this wine leads to a beautiful complexity of well-integrated aromas that hint of blackberries, rosemary, and a touch of smoky, oven-roasted meat dripping character that is typical of the best Syrahs. The flavors follow nicely, with added notes of black pepper, bacon, and spice.  This full-bodied wine is well-balanced, with good weight and grip that glides evenly across the palate, finishing with pleasing flavors that linger.

Winemakers Notes: The grapes come from a 20-year-old vineyard east of the town of Napa, on the benchlands below the Atlas Peak area. After picking, hand-harvested fruit was fermented with utmost care, and the resulting wine was aged for ten months in 30% new oak(50% French and 50% American).
