Notes:
Vineyard:
Piedrasassi has been farming Rim Rock vineyard with organic practices
since 2016. The vineyard lies on a ridge of weathered stones (Chamise
Shaly Loam) less than seven miles from the Pacific Ocean. The own-rooted
vines (grafted from chardonnay) were planted in 1988 and have very low
yields.
Tasting:
Rim Rock Vineyard continues to be a place of complex, beguiling Syrah.
Nearly 15 years into our relationship with this site, its hallmarks are all
the more enticing vis-à-vis the cool 2021 vintage. An undercurrent of
charred earth opens to violet Anis de Flavigny, eucalyptus, sour cherry
and lavender, the vineyard’s animal quality tying savory and tang to lovely
texture. So much comes forward with time in the glass, all of it wrapped
up in a spice-driven finish. This is elegant, lithe Syrah that old vines in a
hyper-coastal vineyard seemingly deliver with ease
