FOXEN Syrah, Tinaquaic Vineyard 2017

This 100% Syrah from Foxen’s Tinaquaic Vineyard is a beauty in the glass with deep violet and ruby tones. The wine is aged 18 months in new French oak, with 20% new barrels. The aromas from the glass immediately scream cool climate Syrah with notes of blueberry, boysenberry, smoked beef ribs, wet earth and bay leaf. Explosive rich dark fruit flavors jump out on the palate, black pepper, charcuterie and medium sweet tannins. This is a high alcohol wine at 15%, but all components are nicely integrated on the long luscious finish. Only 414 cases were produced.
