2022 intentus Paso Robles Syrah, 3x750ml
The 2022 Intentus Syrah leads with vibrant aromatics of rich dark fruit, blackberries, lilacs, and hibiscus flower generously sprinkled with exotic wood spices, creamy caramel and vanilla. This incredibly round, medium-bodied wine offers supple tannins and a silky mouthfeel which seduces your senses and your palate all the way to its long mouthwatering finish that just doesn’t quit. This is not a Syrah made like a Cabernet Sauvignon. It is pure, varietally-correct freshness and seduction in a glass.
Fermented in a small open-top stainless-steel tank, punched down gently by hand 2-3 times per day. Aged in 100% neutral American oak barrels for 10 months. 3 barrels produced.
Vineyard notes: The 2022 Intentus Syrah comes from a small, hand-farmed vineyard estate on the very cusp of the west end of Paso Robles in the Creston District AVA. The Creston District is rich with a pioneering and agricultural history that dates back to the 1800’s. The area is largely tall, rolling hills which were popular with cattle and horse ranching. Today vineyards complement the agrarian landscape adding to the charm and beauty of this gorgeous place. Elevations range from 1,000 to 2,000 feet with old river terraces as well as mountain foothills at the base of the La Panza Range. Soils are predominantly Monterey formation shale, well-drained and benefits from the Templeton Gap, a slightly lower elevation to the Santa Lucia Mountains to the west, that allows the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean to infiltrate the area bringing temperatures down considerably. All characteristics that are ideal for premium Syrah production.
