Based on 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier co-fermented, aged 18 months in 50% new French oak with one-third whole cluster, the 2022 Syrah Chaba offers gorgeous, northern Rhône-like aromatics of ripe blackberries, liquid violets, black pepper, and bouquet garni. It's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered mouthfeel, ripe yet building tannins, and good acidity. This beauty will drink nicely over the coming 10-12 years. - Jeb Dunnuck
The nose has a distinctive red fruit character with a brambly, fresh cut wood quality. Lots of spicy cedar and cinnamon aromas. Fresh red and black fruits, like raspberries, blackberries and cherries dominate the mid-palate along with a dose of savory, earthy spice that leads to a firm and edgy finish. This is a medium to full bodied Grenache with a great backbone of acid and firm tannins that are partly due to whole cluster fermentation. The finish is lengthy and distinctly earthy and will benefit from moderate age or a bit of time in a decanter.
This wine has a bright, ruby red color. On the nose, earthy, woodsy aromas are joined by dark berries and notes of dried meats and mocha powder. The wine exhibits medium to full body with velvety tannins and a juicy, mouthwatering finish due to flinty, crisp acidity. This is a wine that will work on practically any occasion, with a wide variety of foods.
