Winemaker’s Notes:
Our 2021 Reserve Syrah showcases a small amount of Viognier. The practice of adding Viognier to Syrah was made famous in Côte-Rôtie, in the Rhône Valley of France. The Viognier balances the earthiness of Syrah with light, airy top notes. Finally, we finished the blend with a little Petite Sirah to further elevate the body and ageability.
