THICC SISTER | '23 Syrah
From $85.00
Unit price per100% Syrah · The Rocks District, Milton-Freewater · 2023 Vintage
Imagine the most interesting person at the party just walked in wearing a vintage leather jacket and said nothing. That's this wine.
This is Syrah from one of the most distinctive AVAs on earth recognized by Wine Spectator as "the most distinctive AVA in the United States." The Rocks District gets its name from the basalt cobblestone soils that give every wine grown here a signature savory funk you simply cannot replicate anywhere else. Destemmed with gentle punch-downs, 18 days on skins, 10 months in 50% new oak. This is not a fruit bomb. This is a wine with a point of view.
"A beautifully layered nose, leather, fresh cut hay, roasted figs, giving way to olive tapenade, smoked black cherry, and a finish impressive in length." — Winemaker

We aren't huge Syrah drinkers but TS has exactly the weight and layered fruits you see in quality offerings. Never a question of whether its going to be a good wine from AB, just whether it will be a new favorite

I've never had a wine where pipe tobacco was so clearly and correctly present. It sounds unusual but it works completely — earthy and warm on the finish, complementing the leather and dried plum perfectly. A wine with...

I timed the finish on this wine. It did not stop. Leather, pipe tobacco, fresh hay — all of it lingering long after the last sip. The 10 months in new oak gave it structure without masking the terroir. Outstanding.
