The 2021 Petrichor Vineyard Syrah provides aromatic waves of black raspberries, wild strawberries, plums, peppercorn, and cedar that overlay a palette of rich, sappy red and black fruits with silky textures, and a finish of earthy, savory minerals. To capture the signature Syrah spice notes the wine was crafted with 100% whole cluster fermentation and aged in neutral oak. Fresh waves of acidity persist alongside smooth tannins, making this accessible now, though it will unfold gracefully over the next few years.
