Tasting Notes
Dark chocolate covered Bing cherries. Dark cacao, fresh raspberry, vanilla, cassia, and white chocolate. Spice box, dark fruit, caramel.
Color Deep inky purple
Palate Weighty and broad without being plodding. Layered, rich texture with a long, lingering finish. Fresh Damson plums and olallieberries. Subtle oak contributing structure even as the last of the wine evaporates. Clone 470 — late-ripening, aromatic, deep colored, and full-bodied. The first Syrah made from Armaa.N Vineyard.

Critic Reviews
“Rich and lavish aromas of baked boysenberry, milk chocolate and violet cream converge on the inviting nose of this estate bottling. The palate is joyously ripe in blackberry and black currant flavors, as hints of caramel add to this hedonistic spin on Syrah.”
“Another rocking wine in the lineup, the 2022 Syrah Meso Armaa.N Vineyard (100% Syrah aged 22 months in 50% new French oak) offers darker berries, smoked herbs, game, and pepper nuances. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, concentrated, remarkably well-balanced, and has a great finish. Coming from a site in the Willow Creek District in Paso Robles, this brilliant 2022 will evolve for a decade. Drink 2025-2035.”
“This Syrah from the LXV estate vineyard showcases a precise and expressive nose, with varietal character shining through—aromas of Amarena cherries, dried meats, and holiday potpourri prevail. The palate is lush and unctuous, brimming with dark fruits such as boysenberry and layered with dark chocolate and cacao. A velvety, silky texture leads to a lingering finish of cacao nibs and dried blueberries. It is a natural pairing for short ribs or braised meats.”
“Not yet bottled, the 2022 Syrah Meso Armaa.N Vineyard is all varietal and is still resting in 50% new oak. Blackberries, new leather, ground pepper, red plums, and savory flower notes all shine on the nose, and this medium to full-bodied, supple, nicely balanced, textured Syrah has a complex, nuanced, incredibly compelling profile.”
