The Mesa Reserve Syrah represents the best of our mesa top vineyards, focusing on exciting younger Syrah blocks. These younger blocks showcase high-density vine spacing and new clonal material, offering a great contrast to the older Syrah vines on the property.
The Mesa Reserve Syrah always delivers a deeply layered, deliciously sensational tasting experience. The nose of the 2018 Mesa Reserve showcases notes of concentrated blackberries, roasted spicy plum chutney, and sweet tobacco with lilting accents of dried sage. With just one sip the wine’s opulent palate makes itself known, its tannins coating the roof of the mouth and tongue to offer layers of texture and depth. Flavors of charred plum expertly balance the wine’s sweet French oak spices and pave the way toward notes of shaved dark chocolate. Decadent and delicious, this wine is cellar-worthy and a certain crowd pleaser.
