The Character

Overall Earthy & powerful
Aromas Blackberry jam with savory notes of Nicoise olives, an earthy character, and herbal mustard greens
Tasting Notes It showcases blackberry jam with savory notes of Nicoise olives, an earthy character, and an herbal mustard greens salad. Thistles and jicama come through on the finish. While this wine will be approachable in its youth, it possesses a raw power that will take a few years to unwind.

The Story

Our XO Syrah is crafted exclusively from our famed X Block, the source of cool-climate California’s first Syrah plantings. Named in honor of The Executive Officer (the XO), second in command of a naval ship, this exceptional wine consistently exhibits incredibly concentrated flavors, a deep inky color and distinct elements of espresso, meat and sage.
