The 2022 Syrah Nellessen Vineyard incorporates Viognier (4%) and was fermented in large concrete vats. Matured for 10 months in used, 500-liter French oak puncheons, it has inviting scents of blueberry liqueur, lilac, cast iron, black olives and pepper. The medium-bodied palate offers generous, perfumed fruit and restrained ripeness. It's structured by bright acidity and powdery tannins and has a long, detailed finish.
