Ex Post Facto Syrah 2021

This Syrah is perfect for the colder climate. It features flavors of peppercorn, black cherry, and raspberry, and a firm, dry finish that lingers.

Vibrant and snappy, with fresh cherry and pomegranate flavors that take on accents of pepper, meat and grilled anise as this builds richness and focus toward fine-grained tannins. Drink now through 2032.

The 2021 Syrah comes from the Perilune Vineyard, where vines were planted in sandy soils in 2017, in the Sta. Rita Hills. Made with 100% whole clusters, it's expressive and alluring with pure scents of cassis, bitter chocolate, garrigue and cracked peppercorn. The medium-bodied palate features a concentrated core of floral fruit framed by silky tannins and refreshing acidity, and it has a long, ethereal finish.

Rounded and fresh aromas of boysenberry jam, lavender and rose petal are floral while rich and juicy on the nose of this bottling. The mouthfeel is creamy with fine-grained tannins that slowly grow more rigid, as acidity rips through the boysenberry, strawberry and white pepper flavors, with a hint of herb on the finish.
