2016 Caldwell Syrah

Black and blue fruits mingle in the glass with sweet floral notes and aromas of earth, spice, and vanilla. Ripe blueberry, boysenberry, and currant show on the palate interspersed with flavors of cracked black pepper, crushed minerals, tanned leather, and savory herbs. These elements are balanced by fresh acidity, ultra fine tannins, and a hint of salinity providing an overall sense of depth and structure which culminates in a long, complex finish. Winemaker Julien Fayard has used top tier fruit from Caldwell’s volcanic soils to create a wine that is plush and modern in style but one that also evokes a European sense of freshness and vivacity. This bottling is sure to have wide-ranging appeal to wine enthusiasts of both the new and old worlds and to fine wine collectors at every level.
