Amevive Ibarra-Young Vineyard Syrah 2023
$40.00
The Syrah is part of the original planting at Ibarra-Young Vineyard, planted in 1971. It is own-rooted, it’s been farmed organically since 1993, and it’s the favorite block of the property.
The Syrah was harvested in three picks in order to gain depth, acidity, and layers of different tannin structures in the final wine. All of the picks were fermented 100% whole cluster, solely in open top barrels this year. The goal was to create a cooler ferment to retain some extra ‘crunch factor,’ but instead it got a little more structure. It's probably the biggest Syrah made from Ibarra Young.
