Tasting Notes
This 2022 Syrah exhibits an especially dark hue in the glass indicative of it's bold profile. Aromas of violet, leather, blackberry, and well-integrated French oak spice lead to a densely layered palate. Abundant dark fruit characters and velvety tannins will age beautifully for years to come.

We have a special love for Syrah at Chalk Hill Estate. Our location in the Chalk Hill AVA in the warm end of the cool Russian River Valley is perfect for bringing out all the unique characteristics of this fabulous variety. Our Syrah is planted on a steep southwest-facing hillside, made up of rocks and volcanic soil. It’s as close to the Rhône Valley as we get!
The 2022 growing season continued the trend of low rainfall and bursts of erratic weather. Despite the challenges, the wines from this vintage are well-balanced with great structure.
