Steel Plow

2006 Sonoma Valley Syrah

The Landmark Steel Plow Syrah from the esteemed 2006 vintage showcases the rich, deep crimson hue typically associated with this varietal. Hailing from the picturesque Sonoma Valley, this wine embodies the region's unique terroir, marrying bold fruit flavors with a captivating earthiness. Its body is robust and full, perfectly complemented by a pleasing acidity that provides balance and freshness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, with lush notes of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and a hint of blackcurrant emerging on the palate. The tannins are notably structured, providing support and longevity to this wine, while it finishes with a delightful dryness that invites a second sip. Whether enjoyed now or allowed to age further in the bottle, this Syrah stands as a testament to both the grape and the region's winemaking prowess.

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.
