Tasting Notes

Each year we make two different Syrahs and this is the second of the 2016 vintage. A blend of two great Syrah vineyards; Champoux and Klipsun. Smooth, silky and full of dark fruit flavors, this one is a favorite.

Champoux Vineyard produces grapes that consistently show saturated flavors and an excellent balance between acid and sugar. When we tell those who are familiar with the vineyard that we sourced Syrah from Champoux, we’re typically met with a quizzical look and the question, “I didn’t know Champoux grew Syrah?” Only a 2.5 acre block of Syrah was planted high on the hill above the Cab blocks; JM is fortunate to source all of it. We think you will see why we are so excited about this Syrah when you taste it.
