Founder's Fortune 2013 Syrah Mendocino California

2013 Mendocino County Syrah

Founder's Fortune 2013 Syrah from Mendocino County, California, offers a boldly full body that envelops the palate in a symphony of rich flavors. The wine's acidity adds a delicate lift to the velvety texture, enhancing the overall drinking experience. With a moderate fruit intensity, this Syrah showcases a harmonious blend of dark fruit flavors that linger on the finish. The tannins are notable, providing structure and depth to the wine, making it a powerful and satisfying choice for enthusiasts of full-bodied reds. This 2013 vintage truly exemplifies the excellence of Mendocino's winemaking craft.

Tasting notes:


The dark fruits in this wine mingle with subtle earth notes that are typical of red wines from Mendocino. We love the regional typicity on display in this wine. While this wine is perfect with meats, try it with a tapenade or bagna cauda for an appetizer pairing.

The North Coast AVA is a vast "super region" covering three million acres of prime land north of San Francisco. It encompasses the famous wine counties of Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino, as well as Lake, Marin and Solano. While most wines from these counties are made under one of the prestigious regional AVAs, winemakers can also blend grapes from different counties. In this way, they create wines that show off the quality of the entire region and are not limited to specific terroirs. Common varieties include Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel.
