2021 Yosemite Cellars Syrah
Sierra Foothills, California · 100% Syrah · Dry · 750mL
Tasting Notes Red Berries, Leather, Pepper
There is no other place on earth quite like Yosemite National Park. We've looked. From the towering granite monoliths and ancient sequoias to the winding waterways, this land is unlike anything else. Located at 3,000 feet in one of the oldest wine regions in the country, our vineyard benefits from a remarkable diversity of microclimates that produce wines of astonishing depth and complexity. Sustainably grown and thoughtfully crafted, these wines are a true reflection of place.
Harvested with moderate sugar and acid levels, this Syrah is ripe and dense with the rustic edge that makes the variety so compelling. Low yields at elevation contribute to a wine that is just chewy enough to make you wonder if it wandered in from the old world.
Pairing and Serving Pairs well with grilled lamb, braised short ribs, smoked meats, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 60 to 65 degrees F. Drink now through 2028.
