Sourced from the limestone-rich slopes of Paso Robles’ Willow Creek District, this Syrah is both brooding and electric. Deep ruby hues hint at the power within, as bold aromas of dried dark fruit, Shiro plum, cassis, and black pepper rise from the glass, punctuated by notes of licorice and savory jerky. The palate is dark and dynamic—Stella cherry, purple berries, and cola wrapped in layers of nutmeg, lavender, and graphite. A taut mineral entry slowly unfurls, merging structured tannins with a vibrant acidic thread. The finish is firm, fresh, and lingering, leaving behind an impression of tension and depth.

Vintage Notes:

Paso Robles’ 2022 growing season tested both patience and precision. An early bud break gave way to a dry summer, leading into a heatwave that pushed ripening forward. Low yields and small berries resulted in wines of incredible density and balance, with bright acidity preserving their vibrancy. This Syrah reflects the vintage’s extremes—concentrated, structured, and built for the cellar.
