Terre Rouge Ascent Syrah 2017

Terre Rouge Ascent Syrah is a pinnacle of winemaking from the Sierra Foothills, USA. Crafted by Bill Easton, an original Rhône Ranger, this highly acclaimed Syrah is sourced from select vineyard sites at elevations up to 3,000 feet, rooted in granite and volcanic-based soils. Each vintage sees only 8 barrels produced, aged for 22 months in 100% new French oak barrels before further bottle aging. This meticulous process yields a deeply concentrated wine with layers of aromatic complexity, featuring flinty wood tones, exotic spices, minerality, and fine tannins. Renowned for its structure and aging potential, the Ascent Syrah has garnered perfect 100-point scores from The Wine Enthusiast for its 2016 and 2018 vintages, making it one of California’s highest-rated Syrahs and a prized allocation.
