2019 Nelle Coastview Syrah

Our 2019 Coastview Syrah is harvested from the same vineyard as the 2019 Reserve Grenache as discussed above, so you may now realize how special this location is to us.  This vineyard designated Syrah from Coastview Vineyard has been a favorite of ours since our first release from the 2016 vintage. The intensity of warm summer days and the cooling influence of Monterey Bay at night allows this vineyard to make powerful wines showcasing the great expression of this vineyard's climate and terroir. It offers notes of rich mulberry, blackberry, hints of tobacco, and a savory meatiness on the nose; the dark-berried fruit continues on the palate while mixed with baking spices, clove, and olive tapenade. The long tannins have you rolling your tongue around the top of your mouth leaving you yearning for more. This bootstrapper of a Syrah is bold yet refined; a wine we’ve all come to love.  (Robert Parker: 97 points)
