Tasting notes
The 2022 Syrah Bien Nacido Vineyard reveals darker, berry, almost blue fruits, classic Bien Nacido pepper, iron, and meaty nuances. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a focused, beautifully balanced mouthfeel with a seamless texture, ripe tannins, and a great finish. As with all From's wines, it brings power and richness yet stays light on its feet and balanced. Made from 100% Syrah and aged in 100% new French oak for 30 months. Drink 2025-2035.

The 2022 Syrah Bien Nacido opens with mentholated freshness as cloves and sage mix with smoky crushed rocks and blackberries. Silken and pliant, it is nearly seamless in feel, with cooling acidity ushering in ripe wildberry fruits and crisp mineral tones. A pleasantly bitter tinge keeps the mouth watering as a hint of tart blackberry and sour citrus mingles over a bed of fine tannins.
