136

Adelaida District Syrah

De Negoce 136 is a stunning Syrah hailing from the Adelaida District, a sub-region renowned for its ideal winemaking conditions on California's Central Coast. This wine delivers an exuberant full-bodied experience akin to a warm, inviting embrace. Its striking depth is characterized by vibrant notes of dark fruit—plump blackberries and ripe plums—which play splendidly against undercurrents of black pepper, licorice, and a hint of smoky bacon fat. The wine's bright, lively acidity shines through, creating a harmonious balance that makes each sip as refreshing as the first. Texturally, it's a masterwork: the tannins are firm and structured, providing a robust framework that promises grace as the wine ages. De Negoce 136 is truly a testament to the Adelaida District's ability to produce world-class Syrah, a gem that showcases the elegance and power of this varietal.

Adelaida District

The Adelaida District of Paso Robles, located on California's Central Coast, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning a range of elevations and microclimates, the Adelaida District's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a complex array of terroir. The proximity to the cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean plays a major role in cooling the vineyards, sending fog and chilly air inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the western areas closer to the coast, producing refined and elegant wines, while further inland, the warmer, sun-drenched hillsides support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This diversity of conditions enables the Adelaida District to produce a wide variety of wine styles, each reflecting the unique character of its growing regions.
