"The 2022 Syrah Clary Ranch is a wine of total precision and class.  In 2022, it is also especially linear, more floral and savory, with fine balance and tons of persistence.  Crushed flowers, mint, kirsch and orange peel all race across the palate.  I especially admire the precision here." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Clary Ranch is a stunning hillside planting in the heart of the Petaluma Gap near Tomales Bay.  Our coldest vineyard for Syrah, Clary has been harvested as late as November 18th at under 12% alcohol. The protracted growing season paired with the sedimentary clay-loam soils slow the ripening and allow us to farm without irrigation resulting in fruit that is deeply pigmented and loaded with flavor. The resulting wines we have made exhibit soaring aromatics, expressive exotic spice notes, and high natural acidity that are hallmarks of this wind scraped vineyard." 

Alcohol: 12%
