2016 Reserve Syrah
Heart Hill Vineyard
In Stock
Our Reserve Syrah represents the best Syrah of the vintage. The 2016 vintage delivers a powerful, expressive wine that exemplifies the qualities of a highly lauded Willow Creek District Syrah. We’ve found that drinking our Reserve Syrah after 5-8 years of aging is ideal. We put our Syrah through a long, slow and cool fermentation to gently extract complexity from the already deeply-pigmented grapes. We aged the wine in 66% new French oak barrels for 20 months adding nuance and softening the traditionally big flavors of black cherry and notes of leather. The wine’s vibrant natural acidity has helped it to age exquisitely, making it a beautiful pairing for your holiday tables.
