La Pelle 2021 Syrah Bien Nacido Block 8

Block X provides the perfect climate conditions to reach our desired wine style. We sorted the fruit thirty-percent whole cluster with some stem inclusion. Native fermentation took place over roughly 16 days and then pressed into barrels, which are 30% new French oak. The wine is deep purple, an inky and opaque color. The nose has expressive white pepper with earthy notes, caramelized bacon, and black pepper on the palate. It's textural with great acidity, lingering exotic spices, softer classic Syrah tannins, and a long finish.
