Joyce Syrah Tondre Grapefield Santa Lucia Highlands 2018 (750ml/12)
Tasting Notes
2018 was an ideal vintage throughout Monterey County and the Santa Lucia Highlands. We saw very moderate temperatures this vintage without heat spikes which allowed fruit to slowly ripen and develop until we thought the time was just right to pluck beautiful clusters off the vines. We work closely with vineyard owner Joe Alarid in order to pick grapes solely after achieving physiological ripeness, which translates to minimal winemaking procedures in the cellar. By doing so we are able to create wines of purity and place.
