Winemaker Notes
This classic pairing of Syrah and Grenache leaps from the glass with potent aromas of dark plum, currant, blackberry and cassis, along with notes of black pepper, bay leaf, cinnamon and savory spices. The entry is full and rich, with plush tannins framing the luxurious dark fruit flavors and sophisticated hints of earth, leather, tar and white pepper adding depth to a long, dramatic finish.
Production
The 2021 growing season started with a very dry winter, with almost no rain in the month of February. Due to the lack of moisture, there were more frost events, which when combined with an extended period of bloom led to some shatter during cluster formation, resulting in smaller overall yields. Summer brought ideal temperate weather ensuring that the grapes were able to achieve excellent ripeness. While harvest was fairly compressed, with both white and red grapes coming into the winery at the same time, the quality of the fruit was exceptional, producing a stunning vintage of beautifully concentrated wines with deep, alluring colors.
