Rare Earth 2020

a Syrah Red Blend from Fair PlayCA
$34 per bottle

Very rare indeed! We challenge you to find this blend anywhere else. Delightful! This rare field blend of 49% Syrah and 51% Viognier is co-fermented then aged 9 months in French Oak. ​This wine has wonderful aromas of dark cherry and stone fruit with just a hint of pipe tobacco. The flavors of sun kissed dark cherry and vanilla dance on your palate. The balanced acidity and soft lingering tannins lend to a wonderful long finish. 72 cases produced.
