About This Wine

Picklock

Syrah

The Picklock 2013 Syrah is all about the complexity expressed in wines from Mendocino, California. As one of the northernmost outposts of winemaking in California, winemakers do things a little differently than they do in Napa and are able to harness some flavors that Napa wines simply can’t achieve. This robust wine has beautiful dark blackberry notes that blend well with herbs and spice while still retaining their freshness—the freshness comes from the higher acidity that is only possible in the cooler, northern climate. The gamey, tertiary flavors allow for pairing with all kinds of dishes, but we love pairing this wine with meats coming hot off the grill. It just took home a Bronze from the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition!

Wine Region

Mendocino County

One of the unsung regions of the North Coast, Mendocino County enjoys some of California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Lying north of Sonoma, it is home to 12 separate AVAs, spread through sleepy valleys and long, rugged coastlines—much of which exudes a rustic, laid-back feel. Mendocino delights fans of top-quality Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wine, but there is also plenty of fine Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Syrah made in its warmer sites too. Mendocino is also famous for its high number of organic-certified vineyards, reflecting the general "off-grid" hippie nature of its winemaking pioneers.

This wine is full of dark fruit with light tertiary development. The earthiness and evolution of tannins allow the Picklock to pair with all kinds of dishes. This wine is especially great with a well seared cut of meat.
