2023 la bruère
SYRAH
This full-bodied Syrah leads with earthy and meaty aromas, a classic marker of our Wheatfield Vines Vineyard, followed by flavors of blackberry bramble, cherry, and tobacco. This is a big, bold, savory wine with powerful tannins.
Serve with lamb souvlaki and Greek salad or a spicy Linguini Amatriciana on one of those nights where you want to make something special, something that takes a little extra effort, and fills your house with delicious aromas.

“Inky hued and deeply concentrated, this red is powerful yet sophisticated, sporting a velvety mouthfeel. Fluid and open-textured, with savory expressions of stone, bits of tar and cigar wrapper that dovetail with vivid wild blueberry, fresh-picked boysenberry and steeped black currant. Accents of white flower and orange blossom mingle with a whiff of white pepper on the lustrous and uplifting finish.” – Tasting Room Magazine
