Etnyre 2017 Syrah

Etnyre’s 2017 Syrah comes from the family’s small 2 acre hillside property, Quin’s Vineyard, located on the edge of the San Luis Obispo County AVA and Arroyo Grande AVA just over three miles from the Pacific Ocean. This close proximity to the coast promises morning fog and a long growing season, which yields fantastic fruit. Echoing the Northern Rhone style, this cool climate Syrah is rich purple in color with notes of blackberry, cacao and olive on the nose. Layers of blackberry and sage continue with dusted cocoa notes on the palate, which is balanced by a firm backbone of acidity and finely integrated tannins. This Syrah will age gracefully for years to come.
