2021 Russian River Valley Syrah

The Hess Persson Estates Small Block Series Syrah from the 2021 vintage is a striking red wine that showcases the unique terroir of the Russian River Valley. Known for its bold character, this medium-bodied Syrah presents a delightful balance of bright acidity and rich fruit intensity, making it exceptionally inviting. The aroma is layered with notes of dark berries, plum, and a hint of spice, which lead to a well-rounded palate featuring smooth tannins that offer structure without overpowering the wine's elegant profile. With a predominantly dry finish, this wine pairs beautifully with roasted meats or a hearty mushroom risotto, making it a wonderful choice for any occasion. Whether enjoyed now or after some careful aging, the Hess Persson Estates Small Block Series Syrah promises to deliver a delightful experience.

Region:


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.
