WINE DESCRIPTION
Crafted from 100% Rodney's Vineyard on the Fess Parker home ranch in Santa Ynez Valley, this Syrah is a testament to meticulous winemaking. Aged for 22 months in 100% French oak, with 38% new barrels from esteemed cooperages like Francois Freres and Gamba, it reflects the essence of its terroir. This rich and complex wine unfolds layers of berry, cherry, cassis, clove, spice, earth, toast, and smoke. Ready to delight upon release, it also promises rewards for those patient enough to cellar for a decade or more. Fess Parker's commitment to single vineyard expressions shines, especially from their revered estate vineyard, Rodney's.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Fess Parker Rodney's Vineyard Syrah is a bold and intense red.Bold aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and currant mingle with warm notes of white pepper and leather. The palate is full and juicy, with flavors of raspberry and blackberry that linger on the finish. The tannins are firm yet balanced, and the acidity is bright, adding to the complexity of this full-bodied wine. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years.

ORIGINS
Winery: Fess Parker
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
