2021 Syrah, Bismark Vineyard – Magnum
93 Points - Wine Advocate
This wine is beautifully layered and expressive on the nose with aromas of cassis, violet, chocolate, grilled meats and olives. The palate is loaded with blueberries, blackberries, elegant spice and has powerful, velvety tannins, bright acidity. The finish is long, savory and finessed. A standout, elegant, full-bodied wine!
About this wine
Syrah, a dark-skinned red wine grape most commonly found in the northern Rhone Valley, can be made in a variety of styles. Ours leans toward the bold yet elegant side.
Bismark Vineyard is located in the Mayacamas Mountains high above the city of Sonoma, in the sub-appellation of Moon Mountain District. Sitting at an elevation high above the fog line at 2,100 feet, this steeply sloped vineyard benefits from cooler air temperatures, yet intense sunlight, adding to the depth of this wine. The soils in this vineyard are rocky and well-draining yielding fruit with a beautiful concentration of flavors.
