Unmistakably Syrah. This wine is punchy and feral, with sensational structure and notes of green peppercorn and earthy, black olive tapenade. Let it remind you to lean into what makes you human.

Drink When

You’re looking to release the grip a bit.

"Love! ‘Not Heavy’ is what they should print on a case of this gem. Somehow, this is one to both savor and drink with anything. This is a berry that stands at the door, waiting to be invited in. This is a mouthfeel that shuffles together the aces and the diamonds. This is a taste like listening to your favorite song on really expensive headphones. Hats off, Martha Stoumen."

Martha's Notes

This is our third Californian celebration of a traditional French technique, co-fermenting mountaintop Syrah with a small percentage of white Viognier grapes. When fermented together, the Viognier skins stabilize and deepen Syrah’s inky color (flavanols reacting with anthocyanins to form highly stable polymers) and brings added freshness to Syrah’s gamier notes. Of course the chemistry of why a dark wine becomes darker when adding white grapes wasn’t well understood centuries ago when this practice started in the northern Rhône valley, which is both a testament to legacy and the excitement of applied science. 2022 is a particularly concentrated vintage and should appeal to a broad audience, as long as everyone in the crowd shares a little hedonistic edge.
