2022 Perli Vineyard Syrah
2022 Perli Vineyard Syrah
The Perli Vineyard lies within the Mendocino Coast ridge area also known as the Mendocino Ridge AVA. This vineyard is ten miles from the ocean at 2200 ft elevation on a steep north eastern slope. This 2022 bottling combines a McDowell Selection with a small amount of 877 clone co fermented with 4% of Viognier. The McDowell selection is notable as reportedly the oldest field selection of Syrah in North America, brought into California to the San Jose Mission in 1880 and later planted on the McDowell Ranch in Mendocino County in 1902 and later grafted onto the Perli Vineyard. On the nose purple violets, blue and black fruits, cured meat, subtle white pepper, anise, black olives and iron mineral notes. On the palate, blackberry, juniper berries, black olives and pink peppercorns. A gorgeous food wine to enjoy with a slow roasted lamb shank or a grilled filet. "It's a magnificent wine in every way."
