94pts Wine Enthusiast

Flinty, charred aromas and rather lean, smoky, meaty flavors give this wine a dramatic, austere expression compared to the typical big and ripe California red. It’s an adventure in savory, peppery complexity to pair with grilled quail, roast venison or cassoulet.

Winemaker Notes

Aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit, coupled with a silky texture and savory flavor.

Blend: 94% Syrah, 6% Viognier
