2013 Hawks Butte

Profoundly aromatic with copious red apple, rose petal and California bay, the Hawks Butte Syrah offers a harmonious potpourri of juicy black currant, roses and granite. With a deep purple color and rich concentration, the wine is stunning in the glass. Whole cluster fermentation allows the wine to obtain structure from stem tannin instead of oak, resulting in a lively, broad expressive wine with a soft, velvet texture and intense aromatics.  We recommend laying down for 3-5 years.
