2013 | Ramey Wine Cellars | Syrah

This Syrah is grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast which offers a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhone regions of Hermitage and Cornas with aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive, and grapefruit. Silky texture and a savory flavor round out this wine.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 2013 Syrah Sonoma Coast comes across like a peppery, meaty St.-Joseph from Northern Rhône. Loads of black raspberry, blackberry fruit, considerable spicy notes and a hint of barbecue smoke are all present in this medium to full-bodied, delicious.

Producer Information

Ramey Wine Cellars is a Californian wine producer, located in Sonoma's Russian River Valley. Founded in 1996 by David Ramey, it produces a collection of wines sourced from multiple Californian AVAs (American Viticultural Area) with Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah the primary grape varieties. David Ramey is known for his pioneering work in creating the style of Chardonnay that California is famous for today. The richer, full-bodied style is created through the use of indigenous yeasts, prolonged sur lie ageing, and the use of malolactic and new oak barrel fermentation. Unsurpringly, varietal Chardonnay features heavily in the portfolio. Grapes are sourced from notable vineyards such as Ritchie Vineyard in Russian River as well as Hyde in the Carneros of Napa Valley. Ramey also produces a collection of Cabernet Sauvignon, most notably from the Pedregal Vineyard in Oakville as well as a small amount of Syrah. These wines are well-received and met with high acclaim. Ramey achieved his graduate degree at the University of California at Davis, where his thesis on how aromas evolve in wine is still utilized in the industry to understand how a wine will age. After graduation, he worked at Pétrus in Bordeaux, where he learned winemaking techniques that he would bring back with him to the USA. For 16 years, Ramey made wine at some of California's best-known wineries, including Chalk Hill and Dominus Estate, before founding Ramey Cellars.
