Love & Terroir Sta. Rita Hills Syrah Melville Vineyard 2022
This is Syrah grown in a place cold enough that it probably shouldn't work, and that is exactly why it does. Love & Terroir sources from a small sandy parcel on the Melville estate in the Sta. Rita Hills, where the nutrient-starved soil keeps the vines struggling and the fruit intense. Fermented with 80% whole clusters and left on skins and stems for 35 days, it comes out with the peppery, savory, borderline-feral character that cool-climate Syrah does better than any grape in California. Think blue and black fruit wrapped in white pepper, smoked herbs and a salty ocean-air edge. If you still think California Syrah means jam, this bottle is your correction.
