A familiar name for long time listeners. Nellessen Vineyard designated wines have graced many a restaurant and home table over the years and it has been way too long since we have bottled one on its own. This sandy coastal site is harvested in November at a naturally low brix and naturally high acid. In other words this is Syrah planted exactly where it should be.
Tasting Note:
Powerful aromas of pepper, spice and zesty Syrah fruit, this savory Syrah is for folks that love pure crystalline Syrah. Medium bodied and loaded with tobacco, deep blue fruit, spicy mint and exotic flowers, we believe this wine is ready for immediate consumption upon release. Unmistakably Syrah, but hard to pin down as being from California, we think this wine is dangerously drinkable and deserves to be shared with anyone who claims to be a true Syrah fanatic.
