2010 Équinoxe Syrah
Équinoxe: equal day, equal night. Equal heat of the day, equal cold of the night. Equal new world, equal old world.
The 2010 Équinoxe Syrah is a cuvee comprised mostly of fruit grown from a single vineyard in North Oliver on an extension of the Black Sage Bench.
The 2010 Équinoxe Syrah perfectly and effortlessly combines elements of both old world and new world styles. The heat of the desert days gives us lushness, exuberance and comfort; the cool desert nights give us balanced natural acidity and elegance. The combination lays the groundwork for a balanced, perfumed and aromatic wine. The wine’s hallmark explosive aromatics present a mélange of white, pink and black peppercorn aromas and unmistakable floral notes of roses and violets.
