Winemaker Chris Eberle shows a clear understanding of the Steinbeck Vineyard fruit, driving it to a beautifully centrist expression that gathers the best aspects of Syrah — cool climate acidity meets optimal ripeness thanks to a huge diurnal temperature swing, and Chris allows the citric notes that are so complementary to Syrah’s powerful black fruit and spice character. Well done! A Platinum Award Winner at the 2018 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
