From two vineyards, the 2020 Syrah Grizzly Peak is more introspective on opening, with aromas of boysenberry, sweet herbs, pepper, and lavender. It offers ripe tannins and notes of black tea and pine, with a bit of smokiness on the long finish. Drink 2025-2040. ... More details

Winery
Grizzly Peak is a summit in Mendocino County, that overlooks the Yorkville Highlands. Grown in rare soils of fractured shale, mica-schist, and quartz-rich rocks. Fermented partially whole cluster, and aged in neutral French Oak. Notes of a bold rush of pepper, spice, and robust Syrah fruit aromas. This luscious Syrah is tailor-made for lovers of bold flavors. Medium-bodied and bursting with tobacco, rich blue fruit, spicy mint, and rare flowers, this wine can be enjoyed as soon as you purchase it. Unmistakably Syrah, yet hard to place as being from California—enjoy this Syrah as a complement to the fruitier, fuller varieties we craft from the Sonoma Coast.

Varietal: Syrah

The Shiraz or Syrah grape varietal has seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few decades, partly due to the fact that more and more wineries around the world are beginning to plant and process this robust and flavorful grape for international audiences. This varietal has plenty going for it, and has the special ability of being able to clearly express positive features of its terroir in the bottle, alongside its characteristic flavors of dark berries, pepper and other spices. Shiraz/Syrah is also notably a highly versatile grape, and has been successfully used in several type of still red wine, as well as excellent sparkling and fortified wines. It is also regularly used as a blending grape, where it is prized for its ability to add a bold and strong, spicy punch to mellow, blended wines.

Region: California

Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas – the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley – Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.

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.
