SYRAH

WRATH VINEYARD

SYRAH

SANTA LUCIA HIGHLANDS

 

The Wrath Vineyard is sheltered in a nook just below the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA, roughly 25 miles southeast of the town of Monterey. The climate is heavily influenced by the morning fog and afternoon winds from the nearby Pacific Ocean. The soils are primarily composed of Arroyo Gravelly Loam and Hanford Gravelly Sandy Loam. Planted to three clones… Syrah Noir, 174, and 877, out of 67 planted acres, only 3.7 are planted to Syrah. The dark color and brooding aromatics scream Syrah. The wine bridges the divide between cold and warm climate Syrah though, with pepper and high-toned aromatics one expects to find in colder regions, but also has the ripe fruit and thick palate one associates with warmer sites.
