Presqu'ile Vineyards Description
Tasting Note: Juicy and concentrated Syrah is loaded with flavors of blackberries, dark cherry, cracked black pepper, dried herbs, and roast meat. We incorporated 25% whole clusters into the mix to add texture, weight, and signature steemy spice to the wine. Inspired by the Northern Rhône but California in spirit.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2021 Syrah Presqu'ile Vineyard is a terrific cold-climate Syrah from sandy soils. Blackberry, lavender, cracked black pepper, iron, game, tapenade and incense all race out of the glass. Readers who enjoy bold, pungent Syrahs will adore this. The 70% stem inclusion is on the high side, but it works here.
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
The 2021 Syrah was fermented with 80% whole clusters and aged in 20% new puncheons. The nose is chock-full of timeless Santa Maria Valley Syrah aromas, including beef jerky, olive brine, white pepper and dried cloves. The palate perfectly balances plush concentration with tensile lift, finishing rich and savory with a pleasant oak framing. This is one of the highlights of the Presqu'ile portfolio, as this site seems particularly suited to the varietal.
