Description

Lindquist Block X Bien Nacido Syrah 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: This is the oldest Syrah section in Bien Nacido Vineyard which was originally planted to 1973 to Riesling then grafted over to Syrah (Estrella Clone) in 1986.

Taste Profile: A concentrated, dark fruited wine with hints of anise. It is laden with dark fruit and mixed spice. Appropriate ripe tannins frame the wine. A delicious wine with a unique flavour profile

Winemaking Process: This is 100% whole cluster fermented and aged in two-thirds new Ermitage barrels for 18 months. This wine is fined with organic egg whites and bottled unfiltered

Shouldered & Powerful Reds

Powerful modern reds with the ability to age. They tend to be very intense, with ripe fruit, firm tannins & drinkability either young or cellared.

They often have notes of forest floor, blackcurrant, mint & eucalyptus
