Deep ruby-purple, the 2018 Syrah Hawks Butte offers detailed aromas of peppercorn, blueberries and blackcurrants with notes of lilac, sage and thyme. The palate is youthfully firm and very fresh, with just-ripe fruits and pretty floral and peppery tones on the finish. This toned-down expression of Syrah comes from vines planted at 1,600 feet in elevation. 250 cases produced.

The 2018 Syrah Hawkes Butte is once again one of the most distinctive wines in the range. Inky dark fruit, black pepper, sage, lavender and spice all run through this super-expressive Syrah. The 2018 is rich and unctuous but also not at all heavy. It is incredibly singular and full of character.
