King Vineyard

2009 Suisun Valley Syrah

The Avenue Wine Company King Vineyard Syrah from the 2009 vintage is a stunning example of what Suisun Valley has to offer. With its deep crimson color, this wine immediately captivates the eye. On the palate, it boasts a full-bodied structure, complemented by a high acidity that brings vibrancy and life to the experience. The tannins are notable, providing a firm backbone that supports the wine's luscious character. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of dark berries and a hint of black pepper, creating a delightful complexity. This Syrah is beautifully textured and remains dry, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

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.
