WINE DESCRIPTION

Cass Backbone Syrah is a premium wine produced by Cass Vineyard and Winery, located in the Paso Robles appellation of California. The vineyard features a unique combination of limestone and shale soils, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves hand-harvesting and careful sorting of the grapes, followed by fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Syrah with rich flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and a hint of smokiness. Its velvety tannins and balanced acidity make it a perfect pairing for grilled meats and hearty stews.

ORIGINS

Winery: Cass

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.
