Note di degustazione
Medium to deep ruby-purple, the 2016 Syrah Californio opens with notes of dusty earth and graphite over a core of blackcurrants with nuances of loamy earth, tar, cigar ash and grilled meats. The palate is full-bodied with well-managed ripeness, mineral-laced fruits, a finely chalky frame and good freshness to lift the finish.

A tight, juicy red with dried-meat and blackberry flavors. Full body. Clove, stone and spice undertones. Reserved, yet pretty. Medium finish. Drink now.
The 2016 Syrah Californio Hyde Vineyard is a dense, powerful wine that remains very much within the classic style favored here. Inky dark fruit, grilled herbs, menthol, licorice, tobacco and incense add striking layers of nuance to this dark, beautifully resonant Syrah. The 2016 spent 18 months in French oak, 20% of which was new. A reduction of time in barrel by a few months really helps the purity of the fruit come through. This is a superb vintage for the Syrah.
