2021 Jordan The Prospector Syrah

The gold rush of the 1800’s led to the discovery of tin in the gravels underlying the Syrah vineyards. The allure of wealth was fleeting as the prospector dug over the soils for the vigneron. Notes of
peppered charcuterie, chipotle and red fruits are in abundance
with a medium–bodied framework that lends itself to a variety of
meat-based dishes and cooking techniques.
