| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.4 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | Tasted by La Cave d'Argent on 6/19/2021 & rated 93 points: Comprised of 100% Syrah that was sourced from the Larner Vineyard in Ballard Canyon, 35% whole cluster fermented and aged for 20 months in French oak barriques (85% new), this deep crimson wine brims with dark bramble fruits, kirsch, rose petals, baking spices, lavender and licorice. Full-bodied, freshly acidic, seamlessly alcoholic (14.8%), judiciously oaked and with abundant sweet tannins, it has excellent mid-palate density and a very long finish. This delicious red is firing on all cylinders! Tasted at the winery, I suspect that it would have been even more impressive had it received more aeration. Drink now-2033. (1130 views) |

Syrah Varietal article (Wikipedia) | (Wines Northwest)
Note that some producers in the Northern Rhone distinguish between simply Syrah and "Serine", the latter described as ‘an ancient clone of Syrah, the berries of which are more oval-shaped and less deeply pigmented than Syrah’ by producer Tardieu-Laurent. USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
