NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This wine is produced by La Clarine Farm, a renowned winery known for their commitment to organic and biodynamic farming practices.On the nose, Sumu Kaw Syrah offers an enticing bouquet of dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, accompanied by hints of black pepper and savory spices. These aromas are further enhanced by subtle floral notes, adding a touch of elegance to the overall profile.
The palate of this Syrah is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and luxurious mouthfeel. Flavors of ripe black fruits dominate, with layers of black cherry, blackberry, and blueberry intermingling harmoniously. There is also a pleasant earthiness present, reminiscent of forest floor and a touch of smokiness.

ORIGINS
Winery: La Clarine Farm
Region: Sierra Foothills
The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA.
The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
