Arnot-Roberts Syrah California 2022

California // USA

Spicy and complex Syrah coming from some of the best Syrah vineyards in California. The backbone for the wine is the Rancho Arroyo Grande vineyard in the San Luis Obispo Coast appellation, making up just over half the blend. This cool and windy site is located about 7 miles from the ocean, yielding beautiful spicy fruit. The rest of the blend is composed of Syrah from their Sonoma Coast sites: Baker Lane, Solas Vineyard and Clary Ranch. Fermented whole cluster with native yeasts, before blending and aging in neutral oak barrels, along with 30% aging in concrete tank and 10% in French oak foudre. Supple and delicious allowing it to drink well in its youth. 

An excellent chance to try a distinctly West Coast Syrah.
