2021 "Gold Dust Vineyard" Estate Syrah - Viognier

Our 2021 Estate Syrah is co-fermented with our Estate Viognier, a la Côte-Rôtie style, 100% whole cluster and foot treaded daily for seven days until native fermentation had broken down the clusters to the point we could use our punchdown tool.

This special Syrah opens with savory aromas of smoked bacon fat and gamey meat, which lead into softer notes of violets and black olives framed by flavors of blueberry, raspberry, under ripe blackberry and white pepper, followed with light tannin and fresh acidity. Great on its own (and ever-so-slightly chilled) or pair with lamb, burgers, steaks, and winter stews.
