2021 '3' Syrah
100% Syrah. 1/3 fruit, 1/3 savory, and 1/3 ethereal makes for a 100% badass Syrah. Aromatics, texture and depth combine for a wine that will be hard to keep your hands off of. Willy Wonka purple with stunning aromatics of blackberry pie, grilled meats, cigar box, and wet limestone transition to an opulent palate filled with black fruits, purple flowers, and earth. The wine finishes with amazing polish and just the right amount of tannins to justify some short term cellaring. Drink 2023- 2036
"The 2021 Syrah 3 is all Syrah from a mix of sites in Paso. Aged 15 months in barrel, its saturated purple color is followed by a rocking bouquet of jammy black and blue fruits, pepper, violets, and smoked meat. It's a big, rich, sexy beast of a Syrah delivering full-bodied richness, ripe, velvety tannins, and a great finish."

2022 '3' Syrah
100% Syrah. There are wines of place and wines of style. Wines of place have that “je ne sais quoi” and wines of style have a particular framework to them. ‘3’ is a wine of style, a “made” wine, if you will. Rather than being restricted to one growing site, the winemaker’s pantry expands, allowing for the complicated flavor profiles you get from blending vineyards together in a wine. Historically, ‘3’ has featured grapes from 3 vineyards, hence the name. This year, it is a wine from two sites, MAHA and Kirk Landry. Both vineyards bring nuances offered by their distinctly different growing locations and enhanced by the use of whole cluster fermentation on one of the Kirk Landry Syrah lots. The deep violet color creates a kaleidoscope on the edge of your stem as you swirl it. Intoxicating aromas emerge as you swirl your glass: cigar box, cinnamon, limestone, and purple flowers. The silky and elegant palate conjures days in your granny’s kitchen with notes of marshmallow, salted caramel, berry pie, and nori (probably not in your granny’s kitchen). Don’t let this wine fool you. It says drink me now BUT it really wants some time in the cellar to fatten up. Drink 2024-2045
"The 2022 Syrah 3 is all Syrah that saw 30% stems and 14 months in 47% new French oak. Awesome notes of black and blue fruits, spring flowers, black pepper, and gamey, violet-like notes all emerge on the nose, and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a pure, concentrated mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and one hell of a great finish."
