ABOUT THIS WINE:

Penpal

Penpal

Syrah

This bold, rustic wine will delight with its rich fruit and velvety tannins. Syrah is a wine that is all about style. Even in the Rhône Valley, the home of the grape, it is made in a diverse array of styles. As the grape traveled to the New World the Aussies took it and called it Shiraz, and the “Rhone Rangers” brought it to heel in California. This Syrah comes from the vineyards of Paso Robles. It’s hearty, rustic, and bold. The wine was fermented with its stems, which adds an element of freshness, complexity, and tannin. The Paso Syrah grapes and stems make a bold wine full of dark plum, black cherry, and blackberry with hints of bacon fat and white pepper. A hearty wine, this is the kind of Syrah perfect for pairing with barbecued meats. Judges love it too! It took home 92 points and a Gold Medal at the 2020 West Coast Wine Competition

WINE REGION:

Outline of Paso Robles

Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
