Gorgeous, deep, expressive Syrah from the Clary Ranch vineyard in one of the coldest wind-swept corners of the Sonoma Coast. The elevated acidity and spicy aromatics in this wine aren't like anything you'll find in other New World Syrah.
One of California's premier Syrah producers. Arnot-Roberts consistently show how California can make deep and balanced wines without heavy extraction or alcohol.
The “Brise Cailloux” cuvée comes from a parcel of young Syrah vines planted on granitic soils with a clay-loam band. Aged for 18 months in terracotta jars and concrete in order to preserve all the purity of the fruit. Aging potential of 10 to 15 years minimum.
The vines average 40 years, on clayey-calcareous and silty soil, in a unique position between the Cornas and the Saint-Joseph AOCs. The wine ages 13 months in concrete. An easy and fruitier introduction to Northern Rhone Syrah!
