About 2015 Sosie Syrah, Vivio Vineyard, Bennett Valley
To make Sosie wines they source fruit from several different sites across Sonoma and Napa. They choose these vineyards because each is meticulously farmed to yield ripe, balanced fruit that requires few if any additions in the cellar. Some are at high elevations, some at low, but all share pronounced cooling influences that lend freshness to our wines.
Sosie wines are crafted to be food-friendly: lower in alcohol with high natural acidity, nuanced flavors and firm structure. They are made in small batches with minimal intervention and the lightest touch of oak. Their aim is to craft wines that show a kinship with the wines of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire and the Rhone.
Unlike any other varietal, Syrah does well in both warm and cool climates. But it does so with distinctly different results. In warm climates, grapes ripen quickly with higher sugar levels and lower acidity. You end up with softer, fruitier wines that show blackberry and plum. In cooler climates, like Bennett Valley, grapes enjoy greater acid development and are more likely to feature red fruits, peppery notes and a leaner frame.
Only 6 Barrels produced of this 100% Syrah that spent 24 Months in French Oak, 50% New.
Winemaker notes:
On the nose, blueberry, fig, black olive and leather. Another pass delivers . . . is that iron? It sounds crazy but all these aromas are there. Inside the glass are smoked meats, red fruits and herbs. On the pallet, the wine is surprisingly light-bodied. It is at once juicy and structured.
