Cartesian 2017 Syrah California

2017 California Syrah

The Cartesian 2017 Syrah from California presents a beautifully balanced red wine experience. With a medium-full body, the wine offers a harmonious blend of complexity and richness. The acidity adds a refreshing touch, complementing the moderate fruit intensity that delights the palate. Firm tannins provide structure and depth to the wine, creating a robust and sophisticated drinking experience.

Tasting notes:

This wine has gobs of dark fruit flavor. We love the blackcurrant, blackberry, and black cherry that pervade the nose, and the lighter tastes of rose, dried herbs, and white pepper lingering in the background. The complexity and weight make it a great pairing wine for robust meals.

Region:

California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
