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.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
