2024 Syrah, Spanish Springs Vineyard
Cool-climate Syrah is one of our great passions, and nowhere is this exemplified better than Spanish Springs Vineyard. Grown in the cool hills of Price Canyon, just miles from the Pacific, this remarkable vineyard produces Syrah with freshness, complexity, and unmistakable coastal character. This 2024 vintage opens with aromas of vanilla, fresh blackberries, cracked pepper, cloves, and savory meaty notes. On the palate, dark forest fruit mingles with cigar box, anise, cranberry, and earthy spice, while 10% whole-cluster fermentation adds depth and intrigue. Well-rounded tannins and vibrant acidity carry the wine to a long, energetic finish that invites another sip. At home on the dinner table or aging gracefully in the cellar, this Syrah pairs beautifully with braised lamb shanks, grilled ribeye, or wild mushroom ragù, and will continue to evolve and reward patience for years to come.
