Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Syrah Roasted Slope has a nose of menthol-laced blackcurrants with notes of dried herbs, white pepper and bacon fat. The palate is medium-bodied and juicy with gently rustic tannins and spicy black fruits on the finish.

The 2019 Roasted Slope is a deep, powerful wine with a huge core of fruit that carries through all the way to the substantial finish. Hints of wild flowers and blood orange add acid-driven brightness to this dark, brooding Syrah. The 2019 is a blend of the Estate, Alisos Canyon and Watch Hill, 92% Syrah and 8% Viognier.
Already bottled, the 2019 Syrah Roasted Slope checks in as 98% Syrah and 2% Viognier. A vivid purple hue gives way to a meaty, exotic Syrah with plenty of blackberry and blueberry fruits, notes of peppery herbs, violets, and iron, medium-bodied richness, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It has a touch of Hermitage-like character and will keep for 10-15 years.
