Central Coast, California, USA
Gorgeous fragrant but deeply coloured Syrah. Nicely deep dark fruits with hugely loveable tannins. Wraps you up in lovely Syrah cuddles

Nov 24th, 2015Peidra Sassi's website says their Coastal White is, "Very unconventional." A bit of an understatement, this blend of 50% Albarino and 50% Sauvignon Blanc that is fermented whole-cluster in a puncheon, and get this, post-fermentation it's then aged on the skins for a full year! Pronounced notes of candied grapefruit peel, bitter almond, pear skins and green tea tannin. There is quite a bit of tannin structure, presumably from the skins along with a dark golden color that looks oxidized at first glance.

I found the wine to be quite dry, extremely so, that my salivary glands were deactivated. It has a citrus note. Paired well with cheese

Nov 1st, 2015The color of a hazy autumn morning. Lemon, apricot, flowers, grass, steel, soft tannins, acidity that creeps up slowly. Wonderfully unusual, complex, delish!

fills me with weird acidic magic. drinks like a big orange wine with a zip of minerality on the finish.
