Sourced from the esteemed Soberanes Vineyard in the cool-climate Santa Lucia Highlands, this wine reflects the meticulous farming of the Pisoni and Franscioni families. Known for its tradition of excellence, the vineyard thrives in the fog and winds of Monterey Bay, offering Syrah grapes of remarkable finesse. The wine undergoes a careful winemaking process, with native fermentation and the use of 70% new French oak barrels, enhancing its purity, power, and elegance. Limited to just 65 cases, this wine is a rare gem that showcases the unique terroir and the soul of its maker.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Cattleya Soberanes Vineyard Syrah is a beautifully refined wine with a deep, rich color and a harmonious balance of power and finesse.On the nose, it offers layers of black fruit, delicate floral notes, and hints of smoked meat, while the palate reveals velvety tannins and a long, elegant finish. The wine’s complexity and depth make it an ideal companion to roasted meats, lamb chops, or a charcuterie board with aged cheeses. It also pairs wonderfully with dishes featuring bold spices, such as grilled duck with a berry reduction or a hearty beef stew.

ORIGINS
Winery: Cattleya
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.CUSTOMER RATING
