The 2022 Sonoma Hillsides Syrah is a seamless blend of Syrah grapes sourced from organically farmed, steep, rocky hillsides and high-elevation decomposed soils across Sonoma County. Old vines grown in sandy soils contribute depth and complexity to this classic Rhône-inspired Syrah. The diversity of these terroirs results in a wine of impeccable balance, combining power and density with a vibrant, fresh lightness.

On the nose, expect enticing aromas of sweet purple flowers, pink peppercorns, blueberry liqueur, and white pepper, complemented by high-toned fruit pastilles. The palate is plush with blue and red fruits, spiced with earthiness and umami notes, and finishes with a vibrant energy that promises years of evolution in the cellar. This vintage stands out for its higher acidity, red fruit flavors, and a lively personality, reminiscent of the best traits from past stellar years like 2016 and 2021.

Perfect for aging or enjoying now, the 2022 Sonoma Hillsides Syrah pairs beautifully with roasted meats, mushroom risottos, or grilled vegetables. With its combination of classic winemaking and Sonoma’s diverse hillside terroirs, this wine is a true celebration of balance, elegance, and purity.
