We have made super small lots of pure, delicious Syrah in the 2015, 2017, 2019 & 2020 vintages. So here is another terrific wine from that grape, our 2021 Syrah Mudd West Vineyard. This wine is 100% Syrah fruit (hand-harvested, as always) which was stomped on by foot and punched down by hand and shovel. This wine was fermented wild and bottled on February 17th, 2023 after fifteen months in older oak barrels.
This is a blue-fruited, blackberry, black pepper, bacon and lilac-driven wine with a great savory quality and wonderful length. Our 2021 Syrah is medium-bodied and has a beautiful purple colored rim with an opaque core. Bright, juicy acidity and moderate alcohol carry the flavors and aroma on and on. Our 2021 Syrah has a way of going down super smooth and easy.
This wine will be awesome with roast chicken, lamb, steaks and chops, mushrooms and grains and anything from the Pig! While still quite youthful now, our 2021 Syrah will continue to develop in the bottle for at least five more years. This is a special, small production wine at just 208 cases so don't wait!
