This wine has a bright, ruby red color. On the nose, earthy, woodsy aromas are joined by red fruits as well as notes of dried meats and mocha powder. The wine exhibits a soft, medium body with velvety tannins and juicy red fruits. There is terrific spice and crushed stone notes that complement the fruit. The finish is mouthwatering and shows off the wonderful acidity that these varietals have when grown in a cool climate. This is a wine that will work on practically any occasion, with a wide variety of foods.
Based on 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier co-fermented, aged 18 months in 50% new French oak with one-third whole cluster, the 2022 Syrah Chaba offers gorgeous, northern Rhône-like aromatics of ripe blackberries, liquid violets, black pepper, and bouquet garni. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe yet building tannins, and good acidity. This beauty will drink nicely over the coming 10-12 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
The nose has a distinctive red fruit character with a brambly, fresh cut wood quality. Lots of spicy cedar and cinnamon aromas. Fresh red and black fruits, like raspberries, blackberries and cherries dominate the mid-palate along with a dose of savory, earthy spice that leads to a firm and edgy finish. This is a medium to full bodied Grenache with a great backbone of acid and firm tannins that are partly due to whole cluster fermentation. The finish is lengthy and distinctly earthy and will benefit from moderate age or a bit of time in a decanter.
This wine has a glass staining dark ruby red color. The aroma jumps from the glass and is filled with ripe red fruits, cassis, leather and a bit of spicy white pepper. The woodsy aromatics are derived from both a bit of new French oak and the varietals themselves. On the palate the wine is generous but firm with sweet, sappy fruit and savory spice. It’s obvious there was a good deal of tannin here as the wine has great power but a lengthy stay in barrel has softened into to a plush, mouth coating richness. Expect this wine to age well for 15+ years.

"Bright, shimmering yellow in color. On the nose, bright, high toned aromas of peach and nectarine are present along with a distinct dose of lemon zest. The aroma has a hint of briny sea mist as well, hinting at the proximity to the ocean and the ancient seabed soils the vines are planted in. On the palate, more of those stone fruit flavors dominate and are framed by crisp, fresh acidity. The finish is clean and delineated and stays focused on fresh fruit and crisp acidity."
Bright, vibrant, light garnet color in the glass. The nose is fresh and intense with dusty, dark raspberry and sweet floral/herbal notes. On the palate the wine has mouth filling, medium weight and remains lively with more berries and an earthy forest floor quality. Fine tannins and a bit of spice from the light use of stems are apparent on the finish as well as a distinctive ocean mist like minerality.
Radiant and shimmering deep straw in color to a light golden hue. On the nose this wine has distinctive white flower and orchard fruit aromas. On the palate honeysuckle and nectarines along with fleshy peaches and apricots are interlaid with sweet spicy notes and hints of vanilla cream on the finish. There is lots of delicious fruit packed in this wine, but it is the vibrant, energetic acid profile that strikes the palate from start to finish that I find keeps me coming back to the glass over and over again.
