WINE DESCRIPTION

Rideau Estate Syrah is a premium wine produced by Rideau Vineyard, a renowned winery located in the Santa Ynez Valley appellation of California. The vineyard features a unique microclimate and soil composition that allows the Syrah grapes to thrive and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, hand-harvesting, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's character. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Syrah with rich aromas of dark fruit, black pepper, and spice. It has a grainy texture with a long finish, making it a perfect choice for pairing with grilled meats or hearty stews.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Rideau Estate Syrah is a bold and robust red that offers aromas of blackberry, dark plum, and a hint of spice.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with a core of ripe black fruit flavors and a touch of smokiness from the oak aging. The tannins are firm and well-integrated, leading to a long, smooth finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Carpineto

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
