100% Syrah

The lean granitic soils of Colibri Vineyards in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona produce some of the most distinctive and interesting Syrah’s we make. Clones 174 and 474 are grown adjacent to one another on the upper slopes of Colibri – and while the soils and ecological conditions are nearly identical, these genetic differences create noticeable variations in these wines. This was possibly my favorite wine of the vintage. It is so infrequent these days to enjoy Syrah that has any kind of red fruit because they are all so dark and brooding. Here, red cherries, pomegranate and yellow plums fill out the palate with accents of star anise, bergamot, and subtle dried green herbs. The balance of this wine is absolutely impeccable!
