2022 | Pax Nellessen Vineyard Syrah | Green Valley Abbazia di Novacella smoke and chalk notes framed

smoke and chalk notes framed by chiseled acidity and carried on the vivacious

tapenade and a touch of tar

thick ripeness and dense extraction with black fruit flavors framed by lots of sweet oak

leaving a citrusy concentration and sensation of liquid florals that resonates

2022 | Pax Nellessen Vineyard Syrah | Green Valley Abbazia di Novacella smoke and chalk notes framedThe 2022 Syrah Nellessen Vineyard incorporates Viognier (4%) and was fermented in large concrete vats. Matured for 10 months in used, 500 liter French oak puncheons, it has inviting scents of blueberry liqueur, lilac, cast iron, black olives and pepper. The medium bodied palate offers generous, perfumed fruit and restrained ripeness. It's structured by bright acidity and powdery tannins and has a long, detailed finish. 94 Pts Wine Advocate
