harvest stretching nearly a month later than usual. This extended hang time allowed
the fruit to develop slowly, concentrating flavor while retaining remarkable freshness.
The resulting wines are marked by balance, depth, and vibrant acidity a vintage
that combines precision with energy The 2023 vintage brings a lifted, aromatic expression of cool-climate Syrah. Notes
of blueberry, violet, and cracked pepper rise from the glass, giving way to a savory,
energetic palate shaped by bright acidity and fine-grained tannins. Precise and
quietly expressive, it highlights the elegance, spice, and coastal clarity that define
Syrah along the Central Coast.
