Tasting notes
The 2023 Syrah Clary Ranch comes from vines planted in 2000, and grapes were harvested on November 3. It was fermented with 100% clusters and matured for 10 months in used French oak. It has arresting aromas of redcurrant, black cherry, charcuterie, camphor and woodsmoke. The light-bodied palate is delicately styled with crunchy flavors and 11% alcohol. It’s framed by chalky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, peppery finish.

The 2023 Syrah Clary Ranch is an especially wild, animalistic Syrah. Black pepper, game, incense, licorice and iron are some of the nuances that unfold with air. At 11% in alcohol, the 2023 is lacking in mid-palate density, and yet it is a very distinctive wine in its own way.
