"The 2018 PharaohMoans Syrah was picked from different parcels, each with unique terroir and exposure, giving the wine a beautiful complexity. The first two parcels, harvested on September 15, feature deep soils underlaid with limestone. The third parcel, with a heavier loam and clay profile, was picked two weeks later. Aged in 50% new/50% neutral oak barrels for 19 months, the wine presents with a subtle mouthfeel and a silky, soft finish. This wine will age beautifully for the next 8 to 10 years."

Wine Profile
"Lots of spice plums, orange blossoms, spring flowers, peach (I'd swear there was Viognier in this blend) and peppery notes emerge from the 2018 Syrah. An exotic, full-bodied, seamless Syrah with ripe yet pleasant tannins, no hard edges, and a great, great finish, it's truly brilliant and the finest I've tasted from this estate. All Syrah from a mix of sites on the westside of Paso Robles, brought up in 60% new oak, it's going to keep 10-15 years." Jeb Dunnuck
