Stagiaire, Syrah "Consistency In Chaos" Sonoma Valley, California 2024

Cool climate, long infusion Syrah from the upper end of Carneros, the lower end of Sonoma Valley. The somms would tell you this is where the fog rolls up the valley.

Equal parts whole cluster, destemmed, and direct-pressed fruit infused together for 2 weeks. Free run only. aged in barrels and puncheons for a year.

Spiked acidity and slightly rustic tannins. Really leaning into the bloody savory part of Syrah.
