Description

Lindquist Central Coast Syrah 2019

Grape Varietals & Region: Syrah dominant blended with 8% Tempranillo, 2% Grenache and 2% Viognier. The fruit comes from cool climate vineyards in Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. The Syrah comes primarily from Bien Nacido in the Santa Maria Valley, Shokrian Vineyard in the Cat Canyon area of Los Alamos, Mesa Verde Vineyard in the Los Olivos District and Martian Ranch in the Alisos Canyon AVA.

Taste Profile: Bold, powerful, detailed and delicious. A great Syrah-forward red blend. This wine exhibits traditional black pepper and spice together with clean, mild tannins and fresh, balanced acidity.

Winemaking Process: The various lots were fermented separately in small open top fermenters with manual punch downs twice daily. These fermenters range in size from 1.5 to 4.5 ton capacity. Some of the Syrah lots had some whole clusters, but for the most part the grapes were de-stemmed.

Elegant & Structured Reds

From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.

These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
