The 2021 Santa Barbara Syrah is a blend of organically farmed sites across Los Alamos, Ballard Canyon, and Santa Maria, vinified with wild yeasts and around 50% whole cluster. The wine ferments in concrete before ageing for 18 months in neutral oak. Deep purple in hue, it opens with violets, olive tapenade, smoked herbs, and black cherry. The palate carries savoury depth and bright acidity, marrying Northern Rhône authenticity with Californian sunshine. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCellared Says \n\u003cbr\u003eSashi Moorman crafts Syrah with purity, poise, and a whisper of the Pacific breeze.

They both believe that good Syrah can be made at many sites in Santa Barbara County, but it is at the cool climate sites that Syrah is at its most compelling; producing the most complex aromas and the most savory textures. The vineyard sites for Piedrasassi range from Ballard Canyon in the east to the Santa Rita Hills and Arroyo Grande in the west. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyard, the team picks a bit earlier than their colleagues to keep the alcohol levels in balance with flavor and to preserve the natural acidity of the fruit. In the winery, Sashi utilises some whole clusters, indigenous yeast fermentation, and no sulfur added at fermentation, remaining as natural as possible without compromising the integrity of the wine. Elevage is in 500L barrels to limit the wine’s exposure to oxygen and to minimize the influence of oak. They only add the smallest amount of sulfur to the wine at bottling; allowing the aromatics to stay expressive while still protecting the wine during cellaring. The result, in all of these bottlings, is Syrah that shows off the different sites through aromas that bloom and evolve in the glass and tannins that grip and engage the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piedrasassi","offers":[{"title":"1 Bottle","offer_id":45846532391021,"sku":"CRUNWPRD55","price":140.15,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Bottle Case","offer_id":45846771204205,"sku":"CRUNWPRD55-6","price":798.86,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1421\/5622\/files\/piedrasassi-patterson-cassara-syrah-2019_561f9827-c86c-466c-9f3b-b2cd36280ce3.webp?v=1789479178"},{"product_id":"piedrasassi-rim-rock-syrah-2019","title":"Piedrasassi Rim Rock Syrah 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003ePiedrasassi cultivates grapes and grain in the Central Coast of California.
