Cork

The 2022 North Slope Syrah is sourced from north-facing estate blocks in the Santa Ynez Valley and aged for 18 months in predominantly neutral oak, with a small portion in new French barrels. A slow, even season followed by a compressed September heat spike shapes a structured profile with blackberry at the core. Earthy tones and worn leather give the wine a savoury character. With time in bottle, the wine has settled, gaining cohesion, while showing balance and integration. It presents as a serious, site-driven expression rather than a commercial style bottling.
