Cattleya "The Initiation" Syrah

Santa Lucia Highlands, California, United States

Varietal(s): 100% Syrah

With its inky garnet core fading to a vibrant fuchsia edge, this cool climate Syrah exudes quiet luxury and refined elegance. The nose is layered and expressive, offering notes of pink peppercorn blossom, dark Santa Rosa plum, blackberry and delicate hyacinth. On the palate, the wine opens with restraint, gradually revealing nuanced layers of thyme, eucalyptus, black pepper and blueberry compote. Firm, youthful tannins and lively acidity provide balance and structure, promising a graceful evolution and continued refinement with time. Enjoy from now through 2050.
