"I used to pick riper," David Ramey says of his Syrahs. "By 2015, I had gotten it right and started picking a bit fresher." Medium to deep ruby, the 2015 Syrah Rodger's Creek Vineyard, made with 8% Viognier, features scents of dried red cherry, wild blackberry, cracked peppercorn, grilled lamb, dusty earth, potpourri and fried rosemary. Medium to full-bodied, it's lively in the mouth with a strong mineral vein, with wonderfully soft, pixelated tannins and great freshness, finishing long, layered and chocolaty. 422 cases were made.
Tightly focused and brooding, yet expressive, with blueberry, bitter chocolate and smoky pepper flavors that build structure toward refined tannins.
