WINE DESCRIPTION

Lafond SRH Syrah is a premium wine produced by Lafond Winery, a renowned producer in the Santa Rita Hills appellation of California. The vineyard features cool climate conditions and well-drained soils, which are ideal for growing high-quality Syrah grapes. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and complex Syrah, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It is a perfect representation of the unique terroir of the Santa Rita Hills, and a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality Syrah.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Lafond SRH Syrah is a beautiful and bold expression of Syrah.Aromas of dark berry, currant, and licorice lead to a complex palate of black fruit, dried herbs, and spicy black pepper. It is lush and full-bodied, with a velvety texture and a long, persistent finish. Enjoy this one with grilled meats, flavorful pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: Lafond

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.
