2009 Favia Quarzo, Syrah, Amador
The fifth offering of our Syrah, Quarzo, comes from Ann Kraemer's Shake Ridge Ranch. Ann and her family have developed a stunningly beautiful vineyard in the Sierra Foothills, near the town of Sutter Creek, in Amador County, an area that was farmed by Italian immigrants in the 1870's. It is a rugged, hilly landscape, with soils rich in iron and volcanic rock, with quartz crystals intermixed. It is these unique quartz crystals, which inspired the name Quarzo, Italian for "quartz." Much has been said of the potential to produce world-class Rhône varietals in this area and after five years of production, we confidently agree.
The 2009 blend is composed of four unique clones of Syrah, forming a complex, varietally precise wine. The different blocks of Syrah each express their own strong identity and together yield a layered, balanced wine. Notes of smoke, cracked black pepper and Saigon cinnamon billow from the glass. Upon imbibing, the wine is filled with dark red fruits and dusty tannins. The lengthy finish rewards one with nuances of dark chocolate, violet and star anise.

"Beautifully crafted, rich and expressive, graceful yet potent, with a tight delivery of dark berry, mineral and cedar flavors that show a touch of nutmeg and berry jam. Ends with forceful yet integrated tannins. Begs for cellaring. Best from 2014 through 2024. 224 cases made. –JL" (Issue: Feb 29, 2012)
