2023 Flying B Estate Syrah

JOSH'S NOTES
Our Flying B estate vineyard is located right at 1,000 feet in elevation alongside of a creek bed that only has water for about half of the year. The site itself sees our highest temperatures in the heat of summer, along with the Valley’s biggest temperature swings when the sun sets and cool air rushes down from the Blue Mountains. Partially fermented in concrete tulips, this wine is aromatically intense with blackberry cobbler, hoisin sauce, and black pepper. The wine comes in softly and builds with tannin. It is ultra concentrated and rich. The 2023 vintage is shining in this example. Cheers!
