The 2022 Syrah (California) is bold, rich and explosive. As is so often the case, the Syrah is flat-out gorgeous. In this vintage, the Arnot-Roberts Syrah used the broader California appellation. All the elements are so well balanced. Juicy dark cherry, plum, sage, menthol, new leather and lavender build into the dense, textured finish.
The 2022 Syrah California comes from vineyards on the Sonoma Coast, plus the Rancho Arroyo Grande Vineyard in San Luis Obispo County. It was fermented entirely with whole clusters and matured for 10 months in used French oak and concrete. It has bright scents of blackcurrant, white pepper, olive tapenade, prosciutto and floral hints. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and vibrant with herbal black fruit and a long, savory finish. This is dangerously easy to drink!
