"One of the most exciting domestic US Syrahs, this wine beautifully showcases a well-crafted expression of the ‘classic’ funk of The Rocks. The deep umami notes come from the concentration of flavors in the berries due to the vines’ low yields. Notable aromas of green olives and peppers, violets, and meats complement those flavors. This Syrah includes 50% whole cluster and spends 40 days on the skins, enhancing its complexity and depth.” -Clive Pursehouse.
