Arnot-Roberts Syrah Sonoma Coast 2023
California // USA
Planted in 1994, the Que Syrah vineyard is the oldest plot of Syrah found on the Sonoma Coast. With no reference point at that time for Syrah planted in such a cold area, the vineyard was named as a play on the Spanish phrase “que sera, sera." Thirty years on and the gamble seems well worth it, with this vineyard producing one of the most unique and singular expressions of Syrah found anywhere in the world. Having had full control of the site since 2018, the team at Arnot-Roberts have zeroed in on an electrifying style, the wine delighting with its spicy, aromatic personality and mouth-filling flavours of vibrant briary fruit. This is, without doubt, one of the New World's greatest Syrahs.
