A wine boasting terrific texture, good underlying acidity, ripe tannin, and a 60-second plus finish. 95.5% Syrah, 3% Grenache, and 1.5% Viognier, from 4 vineyards, Alban, Stolpman, Bien Nacido, and White Hawk. A stunning effort.
This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
