$45.00 per bottle
Description:
This is our first offering of Syrah from fruit grown elsewhere than Nicholson Ranch. We didn't stray too far, however, as this fruit comes from our well-known neighbor to the south of Nicholson Ranch, Lee Hudson. Our winemaking technique for this Syrah included a five-day cold soak, where we held the temperature of the must to 55 degrees to bring out the aromatics. The nose on this Syrah gives off crushed black cherries, violets, spice, oak, country ham and a bit of Christmas spices. On the palate the wine is medium weight with seared meats, rhubarb, wet earth, balsamic vinegar and olives. Youthful tannins come through on the persistent finish. Though approachable now, this wine is only going to get better over the next three to five years. Decanting for an hour or two brings greater depth and complexity to the wine.
