The Syrah Milbrandt lifts from the glass with wild herbal tones and savory spice. It’s silky and racy in character, with floral-laced black fruits and salty minerals that resonate throughout. While lightly structured, the 2020 finishes fresh, leaving a reverberation of acid-driven tension, as licorice and sour citrus tones are left to linger.

The only Syrah vinified in stainless steel, the 2020 Syrah Milbrandt Vineyard is 100% varietal that was not destemmed and spent 16 months in 20% new puncheons. Ripe blackberries, black cherries, ground pepper, and bouquet garni notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, pretty, elegant, yet fruit-loaded Syrah that has soft tannins and tons of up-front charm. It will evolve for 7-8 years.

Firm, smoky and meaty, the 2020 Syrah Milbrandt Vineyard starts with a dusty core of crunchy red fruit and blackberry skin before spicy aromas waft out of the glass. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is fresh and juicy on the palate, with a fine mineral mouthfeel and bacon and pink peppercorn flavors. The wine continues to evolve and uncoil, ending with a spicy, mineral-laced finish. The wine spent 16 months in barrel, 30% new French oak. Give it a try. Just under 18,000 bottles produced.
