Reserve Syrah

2005 Clements Hills Syrah

The Wiens Family Cellars Reserve Syrah is a captivating example of Clements Hills winemaking, showcasing the region's ability to produce rich and complex wines. This full-bodied red exudes a deep ruby color, hinting at the vibrant fruit within. On the palate, it delivers a splendid balance of high acidity and pronounced fruit intensity, with ripe blackberries and dark plums harmonizing beautifully with notes of black pepper and smoky undertones. The tannins are notable yet refined, providing structure without overwhelming the senses. As a dry wine, it offers a remarkably smooth finish, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty grilled dishes or rich stews. Whether savored on its own or enjoyed alongside a delicious meal, this Syrah embodies the essence of its terroir, reflecting a depth and character that truly delights.

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.
