2021 Charles Heintz Syrah

This Syrah is from Charles Heintz vineyard in Occidental, a cool site at the extremes of ripening Syrah in western Sonoma county. The 2021 vintage created an environment for lower alcohol and lighter tannins. The nose is floral and olive toned, with hints of smoked meat, while the palate is blueberry and wet stone. This wine appreciates a chill and a hamburger.
