Description
The barrel sample of 2017 Syrah Bouquet Garni is composed of 100% Syrah from three clones planted on Goulding cobbling clay loam at 600 feet in elevation, fermented one-third in puncheons and two-thirds in stainless steel. Deep garnet-purple colored, it opens with warm red and black plums, Black Forest cake and wild blueberry scents with hints of black pepper, bay leaves and violets. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers loads of elegant, expressive black fruits in the mouth, with soft, rounded tannins and a compelling herbal lift on the long finish. 135 cases are expected to be made and released in the spring of 2019.
