Arnot-Roberts
Clary Ranch Syrah
Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California, USA
Translucent purple with aromas of plum, lavender, and mint as well as herbal notes from stem inclusion. Flavorful but weightless with only 12% alcohol. Lovely now and unencumbered by excessive ripeness, extraction, or oak influence but will certainly improve as tannin and stem elements integrate.

I'm so impressed by the complexity in this for such a young wine. How often do you hear CA syrahs being compared to N. Rhone? Way too much right? Well, how many CA syrahs out there are cold climate, coming in at 12.0%, and bringing the funk? This starts interesting with a soft fruit nod and then ends with an earthy funk punch. Could potentially be a dead ringer for a fine St. Joseph with another 7-8 years.
