2014 Syrah, Bismark Vineyard

24 bottles left!

2014 Bismark Vineyard Syrah from the high-elevation slopes of the Moon Mountain District in Sonoma was an absolute standout.  It’s got smooth silkiness with enough of a hearty backbone to excite any lover of bigger bolder wines.  Sure,  this wine could continue to age for a lot longer, it is really shining right now.  There are only a few cases left in our library of this wine so move quickly as it’s likely to sell out.

STORY:

Bismark Vineyard is located in the Mayacamas Mountains high above the city of Sonoma, in the sub-appellation of Moon Mountain District. The soils in this vineyard are rocky and well-draining. Sitting at an elevation high above the fog line at 2200 feet, this steeply sloped vineyard benefits from cooler air temperatures yet intense sunlight adding to the depth of this wine.

TASTING NOTES:

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2014 Syrah Bismark Vineyard gives pronounced cracked black pepper scents over blackberry, black cherry and red currant notes with hints of garrigue, Provence herbs and lavender. Medium-bodied, delicately crafted and with plenty of spice on offer in the mouth, it has a soft frame of rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with persistent black pepper notes.
