Lacuna 2019 California Syrah

This is a project that has always focused on the Syrah grape, but ironically this is the first time that has graced the label. The nose shows deep cherry, fresh cracked black pepper, bitter orange and violets. The palate is moderate in weight with blackberry, cherry, savory herbs and pepper spice. D&M Tasting Notes

We continue to quietly source from some of the most accomplished growers of Syrah in California. These cool sites where Syrah is neighbored by Pinot Noir, give the varietal a rare depth and complexity. Each vintage we blend small amounts of complimentary varietals from Old Vines to complete the wine.

These savory characters are so important to us and really shape the philosophy of our wine. Fine, lignified tannins offer a framework which keep this vintage’s generous nature focused and texturally balanced. Every harvest presents us with a unique set of flavors. The character of Lacuna pivots slightly to highlight the attributes of the vintage without straying from our philosophy. We are genuinely excited about the results this year and hope you enjoy them too. We are excited to offer a new release of Lacuna! Winery Notes
