2022 Bedrock Wine Co. Syrah | California 750ml

We take great pride in what we feel our "introductory" wines provide for the tariff. Of those, I feel the Syrah might over-deliver the most based on the fruit sources - a feeling that was reinforced by a recent vertical we did, where the 2009-2013 vintages were shining bright right alongside bigger siblings like Hudson and Griffin's Lair. In 2022, we look to continue this tradition with a wine that truly encompasses the totality of California - blending vineyards such as Nolan, Bien Nacido, and White Hawk in Santa Barbara with stalwarts like Weill, Hudson, and Bedrock in Sonoma County. All lots were fermented with 20-60% whole cluster to play up perfume and floral notes. This is both elegant and weighty, beautiful deep purple in color and filled with the violets, pepper, and bacon fat that make us all drool for Syrah. | Morgan Twain-Peterson
