The difficulty with syrah, and also the beauty of it, is that there is such a broad variety of wine styles that may be produced from this single grape. In cool regions such as Côte Rôtie, syrah produces elegant, highly perfumed wines that nonetheless have considerable tannic structure and are capable of aging gracefully over many years. In more thermally overachieving climates, as are found in parts of Australia and, yes, even California, syrah is capable of producing both 1) enviable wines of almost preternatural concentration and 2) a viable substitute for motor oil that can be applied to ones crumpet with a
knife (in lieu of vegemite). Here we unite the yin (Thoma Vineyard) and yang (Chequera Vineyard) of syrah into a wine balanced in both fruit concentration and elegance. The fragrance of baking spices, cocoa and bergamot transcend through ripe raspberries and cherry pie, all intermingled with syrah’s signature smoke, leather, and bacon fat.
