From ungrafted vines planted in 1997, the 2022 Syrah Cailloux Vineyard is the only Syrah that Christophe Baron co-ferments with Viognier, in this case 6%, bringing a lift to the wine without becoming sweet. Potent spicy black cherry, crushed gravel, and black tea ride a focused, precise palate of medium-bodied intensity that’s dark, spicy, and feral, lengthy and dense, with a freshness to the long finish. Drink now through 2042..
