The 2023 Santa Ynez Valley Reserve Syrah invites you in with classic aromatics of juicy red plum accented by a distinct crack of black pepper. On the palate, this medium-bodied Syrah is beautifully balanced, offering savory layers of tangy rhubarb, toasted cedar, and earthy black olive. Its refined structure and spice-driven profile make it a standout pairing for rosemary-crusted lamb chops served alongside a crisp fennel slaw.

The grapes for this wine come from two vineyard blocks on our estate in Santa Ynez Valley. Situated at 1,000-foot elevation on a plateau, this vineyard is comprised of gravely, sandy loam soil from sedimentary oceanic rocks containing limestone and shale, ideal soil for growing our Syrah because of its permeable qualities. During the growing season, the fog sits right on top of our vineyards, creating desirable, cool foggy morning weather, with diurnal temperature swings of 50 degrees.
