2019 Zotovich Vineyard Syrah | 750ml | 15.4% alc

Zotovich Vineyard is an acclaimed, family-owned vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills to the west of Rideau, only a few miles from the Pacific coast. In expanding our small-lot program of Santa Barbara County Syrahs, these vines—planted in sandy soils and saturated in foggy mornings—revealed to us a perfect expression of cool-climate, mineral and spice-driven Syrah that is utterly beautiful. Fennel, raspberry compote, and hard spice waft from the nose, while the palate is luscious with bramble fruit tones and hints of mocha that linger for minutes. Only 150 cases were produced of this age-worthy wine.
