Estate Syrah 2017

a Syrah from California • CA
by Element 79 Vineyards
$42 per bottle

Awarded 95 points and Editor's Choice by Wine Enthusiast, it has all the decadence you expect from a Syrah with the subtle sophistication and elegance that develops when you pay close attention to the vines. Aromas of roasted plums and pomegranate with earthy notes and just a hint of herbs. The palate of subtle cranberry combines well with just a touch of mulling spice, sage, and barbecued cedar planks. The balanced acidity and soft tannin finish makes this the perfect wine for any holiday feast.

Element 79 Vineyards

Element 79 Vineyards is nestled in the rolling hills of El Dorado County, deep in the heart of California Gold Country, our property is located in the Fair Play AVA, which has the distinction of being the California AVA with the highest average elevation. Situated at 2,400 feet above sea level, our property encompasses 70 acres- 32 of which are planted with grapes.


The lower vineyard consists of 20 acres planted with 8 acres of Zinfandel, 2 acres of Cab Franc, 1 acre of Petite Verdot and 7 acres of Syrah. The upper vineyard consists of 12.5 acres planted with 5 acres of Petite Sirah, 5 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and 2.5 acres of Viognier.
