2007 Sonoma Valley Syrah

The Benziger Appellation Series Syrah from the 2007 vintage is a delightful expression of Sonoma Valley’s unique terroir. This full-bodied red wine showcases the varietal's bold character, enveloping the palate with a rich tapestry of flavors. The high acidity provides a refreshing brightness that enhances the wine's overall complexity, while the notable tannins contribute a structured backbone, lending elegance and depth. With prominent fruit intensity, this wine bursts with dark berry notes, intertwined with hints of pepper and earthy undertones, creating a harmonious balance that is certainly appetizing. As a beautifully crafted wine, it is sure to impress with its depth, profile, and the ability to pair wonderfully with a variety of hearty dishes.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
