WINE DESCRIPTION

Spear Syrah is a premium wine produced by Spear Vineyards, known for their commitment to sustainable farming practices. The grapes are sourced from the esteemed appellation of Santa Ynez Valley, where the vineyards benefit from a unique microclimate and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation in small batches and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and complex Syrah, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. Its full-bodied and velvety texture make it a perfect pairing for hearty meat dishes or a cozy night in.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Spear Syrah is a bold and powerful expression of Syrah, displaying aromas and flavors of dark fruits, tobacco and baking spices.On the palate, this full-bodied wine has a deep, dark color, with a balanced tannin structure and a long finish. It offers intense flavors of blackberry, plum, and fig, with nuances of tobacco, anise, and white pepper. An excellent choice for grilled meats, game, and hearty stews.

ORIGINS

Winery: Spear

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.
