The 2022 Syrah Sonoma Hillsides is another potent wine in this flight. It’s dense and quite rich in the glass, but without quite the complexity or dimension of the very best years. On the plus side, that does make it a bit more approachable than some of the surrounding vintages. Dark-toned fruit, lavender, leather, cloves and dried herbs all meld together in the glass. Soft, plush contours wrap it all together in style.

Varietal

Syrah

Known as Syrah in most countries around the world, and Shiraz in Australia and certain other regions of the New World, this grape varietal has proven over the centuries to be one of the most powerful and flavorful red wine grapes there is. It is now one of the planet's most widely grown grapes, and is a favorite with wineries as a result of its robustness and versatility. It isn't easy to identify many characteristics of this particular varietal, due to the fact that it is highly versatile and shows significant differences in flavor and character depending on the terroir it is grown in, and the climatic conditions of the region. However, Syrah is most widely associated with full bodied, strong and loud red wines, packed full of fruity and spicy flavors, held in a beautifully deep red liquid.

Country

United States

Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

Region

California

California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.

Displaying a dark purple hue, the 2022 Syrah Sonoma-Hillsides is fermented and aged in concrete and takes on a fantastic chalky texture. Aromatically, it reveals notes of lavender, wild berries, black olives, and wet stone, and on the palate it offers ripe tannins with great, savory notes lasting long on its clean finish. Drink 0225-2037.

The 2022 Syrah Sonoma Hillsides was fermented with whole clusters and matured for 10 months in concrete tanks. It's bursting with scents of blueberry liqueur, candied violets, powdered sugar and Castelvetrano olives. The medium-bodied palate shows off the prettier side of Syrah with its restrained ripeness, detail and perfume. It's structured by finely chalky tannins and bright acidity and has a long, floral finish. It will benefit from 2-3+ years in bottle.

Winery Notes

Sweet purple flowers, pink peppercorns, blueberry liqueur, white pepper, and exotic high toned fruit pastilles. Plush blue fruits on the pallet, spicy with high toned red fruits and swirling aromas of earth, umami and fresh summer fruits. Intense and vibrant, this is going to stay fresh and lively for many years into the future and improve with time in your cellar.
