Note di degustazione
The 2022 Syrah Horseshoe Vineyard comes from an estate site planted in 2004 near Alpine Vineyard, protected from the ocean by a ridge. At high-elevation, the wine still speaks to the site, marine-influenced and mineral-driven, with an incredible opening note of white pepper that's followed by medium-bodied layers of complex garrigue and exuberant red fruit. The silky palate has discoveries to uncover as it goes, from meat and iron to dried herb and black olive. The finish is lush and long. Drink now through 2038.

The 2022 Syrah Horseshoe Vineyard is inky, virile and so distinctive. An Increase in the use of 25-hectoliter casks in élevage lent an extra measure of textural polish, rounding the wine's edges ever so slightly in the most attractive way. Chalky, powdery tannins wrap around layers of ripe blue/purplish fruit, mocha, ash, smoked meat and incense. There’s remarkable tension here, a push-pull between muscle and finesse that makes the 2022 especially compelling.
The 2022 Syrah Horseshoe Vineyard delivers a quintessential, varietal nose of cracked pepper, violets, grilled meat and an opaque core of perfectly ripe black fruits, introducing a supple, rich palate that remains impressively nimble and spry. It concludes with a long, layered and savory finish loaded with meaty nuances and floral perfume, lingering with a delicious combination of refined, subtly drying tannins and succulent, measured acidity.
