Syrah in cold-climates grows far more differently than warmer climates and has a style more closely associated with the cold and windy Northern Rhône in France centering around towns like St. Joseph, Cornas and Crozes-Hermitage. It is more non-fruited than the robust styles you see in warmer areas and offers so much more in flavor, spice, palate presence and sophistication. Aromatically, it drifts towards Mediterranean aromas like black olive, white pepper, rosemary and purple flowers but also fascinating earthier notes like saddle leather, grilled meats and roasted earth. It pairs amazingly with anything roasted like meats (especially lamb) and vegetables particularly peppers, onions, tomatoes and eggplant. And because it is Syrah, which structurally has more architecture, it can stand up to any complex food and ages very well.

This is a blend from five different Syrah selection and is a classic example of cold-climate Syrah. It is immediately full of dark brambly fruits, dark chocolate, lavender and dried herbs. It is round, sublime and generous on the palate. Between the wonderful mélange of beguiling aromas and the mouth-filling palate, this wine provides immense pleasure and a very satiating experience. Will drink well now through 2035.
