2022 VGS Syrah
Mount Veeder

Now this is a serious mountain-grown wine!
Our Northern Rhone-inspired expression of Syrah is so intense and complex. The second you pour yourself a glass of this wine, its dark; almost electric-purple color grabs your attention-alerting you the pleasure to ensue! Deep and dense aromas of violets, blueberries, and crushed stones leap from the glass.
On the palate, it is loaded with blueberries, blackberries and dark cherries. A second wave of complex flavors quickly follow, caramel, Australian black licorice, olives, cured meats and toasty vanilla. This is a very seductive and focused wine. You feel the ripeness of fruit accented and followed by an earthy minerality framed by fine-grain tannins.
