ワインインフォメーション
A new Syrah vineyard? Not exactly. In 2009, we used this Syrah as the base of our much-heralded Sonoma County Syrah. In 2010, we found that it significantly improved our Bennett Valley Syrah (Steiner falls into both Sonoma Mountain and Bennett Valley AVAs). But in 2011, we decided it should stand on its own. Located at 1000’ elevation on the northwest face of Sonoma Mountain, weather at Steiner Vineyard is greatly influenced by the wind and fog pouring through Petaluma Gap. As a result, it’s a marginal climate, one that is ideal for producing wines of distinction. Composed of equal parts of clone 470 and Alban 1 selection, the wine was given a light egg white fining to polish the tannin but bottled unfiltered.
ワインメーカー・テイスティングノート:
Dark ruby-garnet. A very savory nose of white pepper, violets, and herbed, dried black olives. Offering plenty of verve and sap, the wine is surprisingly supple and approachable with impeccable balance. Red and blue fruits carry though the lip-smacking finish. Fans of more elegant Syrahs (as often found in the Northern Rhône) should find plenty to like in this wine. Drink from release (although with a decant) through 2020. (MRO – 07/18/13)

"Yet another new wine, the 2011 Syrah Steiner Vineyard presents an intriguing melange of dark fruit, savory herbs, licorice and menthol. This medium-bodied, highly expressive Syrah should be approachable upon release. The 2011 has a gorgeous core of dark red and blue fruit and terrific overall balance without too many of cooler climate, gamier Syrah notes. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2023.
Proprietor Mike Officer arrived with a bevy of wines for our tasting, all of which I was thrilled to sample. Readers who don’t think terroir exists in California should check out the Carlisle Zinfandels and Syrahs, many of which emerge from old-vine, heritage sites that nearly disappeared until Officer and some of his peers rescued them from the brink of oblivion. In particular, the 2011 Zinfandels are fabulous. Officer describes 2011 as a very late harvest. The Syrahs were all picked after the rains, while the thinner-skinned Zinfandels naturally came in quite a bit earlier. Officer told me he performed a severe selection of fruit that took with it a full 50% of the production. For his efforts, Officer has been rewarded with a set of gorgeous wines, although I imagine his faithful clientele won’t be too thrilled with the lower production levels of these wines, given their already minuscule production. Unfortunately, 2011 Compagni Portis and Gruner Veltliner were to be bottled right after this tasting, so I will have to wait until another opportunity to sample those wines. Carlisle is resolute in keeping his wines affordable, a commendable approach I wish were more common throughout California."

Dark purple. Powerful, expansive aromas of dark fruit liqueur, sandalwood, mocha, star anise and potpourri. Stains the palate with intense dark berry and bitter cherry flavors, with a sappy lavender pastille nuance adding an exotic flourish. Chewy tannins slowly come up with air and add shape to an impressively long, spice-accented finish.
