"Stunning aromas of crumpled violets, lavender, white pepper, squid ink, char and dark boysenberry make for a pitch-perfect cool-climate nose on this bottling. Similar aspects arise on the sip, where the purple-flower and green-peppercorn elements decorate the seared lamb and tightly spun black-fruit flavors." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2018 Syrah from Spear Vineyards is a blend of 3 clones: Alban 1, 383 and 470.  Picked in two times, on October 24th for the Alban clone and November 2nd for the 383 and 470. We kept all lots separate during all the steps from vineyard to bottle. Wild yeast fermented with 20% whole cluster inclusion, it was aged for 9 month in neutral French barrels prior to bottling. The wine is unfiltered and no SO2 was added until bottling. 

The spicy and peppery aromas of this wine blend perfect with the notes of black fruits and earthy flavors.  The wine has a medium body with silky tannins and a fresh and lasting finish due to the bright acidity."
