Tasting Notes
This Seven Hills Vineyard Estate Syrah is loaded with dark spicy complex aromas of leather, tobacco, anise and cola. The rich mid-palate shows flavors of ripe plum and dense blackberry that give way to a concentrated and unrelenting earthy mineral finish.
Winemaker Comments
This Estate Syrah is a blend of three distinct blocks from Seven Hills Vineyard: 1/3 Block 11 (relatively flat terrain), 1/3 Block 26 (north slope) and 1/3 Block 27 (south terrace). Planted with the Espequette or Phelps clone, each block contributes unique characteristics. L’Ecole Nº 41 is a partner in the 220 acre Seven Hills Vineyard, along with Pepper Bridge Winery and Leonetti Cellar.
