The Mesa Reserve Syrah represents the best of our mesa top vineyard, focusing on younger blocks, which offer a great contrast to the older Syrah vines on the property. Our use of high-density vine spacing and new clonal material in these blocks gives the wine a brightness of fruit and richness that is unique to the Mesa Reserve. Our 2012 Mesa Reserve Syrah shows off a classic Syrah structure with bold tannins and bright acidity. The fruit is dark with blackberry, wild berry and cassis layered with savory herbs, dark chocolate and violets.
