2013 TERRE ROUGE Syrah, High Slopes, Sierra Foothills
This wine is made from two of our higher elevation Syrah sites. We think that they express the racy aromatics of the Syrah grape that reminds us of Côte Rotie.
Every year, these vineyards are mature at lower sugar levels. These up- slope lots have a lot of finesse and express the wonderful meaty, white pepper nuances of Syrah, while still retaining some of the smoky, spicy qualities of the grape.
