Zinke Thompson Vineyard Syrah 2018

Zinke Thompson Vineyard Syrah offers a rich, supple texture with delicate cherry and vanilla notes. While some find it a heavenly pleasure, others appreciate its tactile quality. The wine is generally well-received for its delightful combination of flavors.

This Syrah from the Thompson Vineyard presents a deep, inky hue, indicative of its concentrated nature. The nose is a symphony of blackcurrant, blueberry compote, and cracked black pepper, underscored by hints of smoked meat and violets, showcasing its varietal purity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture, balanced by firm yet polished tannins and a vibrant acidity that provides lift. The finish is long and complex, revealing layers of dark chocolate and a whisper of graphite. This Syrah exemplifies the robust yet elegant style characteristic of California's Central Coast.
