This Syrah presents a deep and rich dark garnet color, and its enticing bouquet offers hints of red and black fruits, white and black pepper, and dried herbs. Upon sipping, it reveals a seamless, full-bodied character with a medley of savory herbs, delicate floral notes, cedar, fresh-baked blueberry pie, and a subtle spice. Its velvety tannins create a creamy texture, culminating in a finish reminiscent of dark chocolate.
This Syrah is an excellent pairing for roasted duck, enhanced by a pan-glazed Califa Syrah sauce, and promises to redefine your appreciation for this varietal.
We have been making wine from Chamisal Vineyard for more than forty years and, in that time, have developed an intimate knowledge of our terroir down to the blocks and rows that make up our estate. This bottling comes from sites that we consider to be our “Premier Cru” sections of the vineyard with optimal soils and clonal selections. “Califa” is the name we have bestowed on these stunning wines to distinguish them as outstanding expressions of some of our most treasured sites. Our Califa Syrah has gained a reputation for being an outstanding, intense and age-worthy wine.
