Description
The 2019 Three Pines Syrah is a wine that exemplifies balance and finesse. Produced from a single block planted in 1991 at 360 meters, it underwent 20 months of maturation in French oak, with about 15% new barrels. The wine was basket-pressed and unfiltered, preserving its pure expression. Despite a drought, the vintage benefitted from cooler conditions and low yields, resulting in excellent fruit quality. The wine showcases a harmonious blend of floral notes, pepperiness, and smooth red cherry and currant flavors. It has a finely textured mouthfeel, described by critics as “the texture of crushed violets,” with vibrant acidity and a long, elegant finish.
Food Pairing: Perfect for lamb, game meats (such as venison), and roasted poultry.
