"The 2022 Syrah Estate Vineyard is a total knockout. Dark, brooding and imposing, the 2022 captures all the savory/mineral intensity of this site on the West Sonoma Coast. Blackberry, charcoal, lavender, menthol and black pepper all race out of the glass in this heady, layered Syrah. It's deeply satisfying from the very first taste."

"From the Faila estate, both dry-farmed and organic were planted in 1988. The vines are mere kilometres from the Pacific Ocean, where less than a hectare of this high-elevation site is planted to Syrah. Stunningly aromatic with notes of crushed violets, smoky frankincense, grilled blood orange and smoked sea salt. The palate is well-framed and gorgeously mineral-rich. Deep earth tones, smoky soy umami and loads of rich salinity form the wine's core. Fresh raspberries, strawberry leather and hints of tobacco leaf bring you to the crescendo."
