Sourced from the family’s long-held parcel in the celebrated Hudson Vineyard in Carneros, it combines depth, intensity, and precision in a way that makes it feel genuinely special from the first sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMakuprofiili\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, this Syrah shows an almost black, deeply saturated color that hints at its concentration. The nose is profoundly expressive, with layers of blackcurrant, blackberry, blood orange, black pepper, smoked meat, licorice, tar, and dark earth.\n\nThe palate echoes the aromatic profile with striking clarity, led by dark fruit and savory, smoky meat notes, supported by dried Provençal herbs and a long, persistent finish. Powerful yet finely balanced, it is excellent now but has the structure and depth to age gracefully for at least 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViininvalmistus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Kongsgaard’s parcel within the renowned Hudson Vineyard in Carneros, a cool-climate Napa Valley site known for producing concentrated, characterful fruit.

Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if drinking young to allow the wine’s aromatic complexity and layered texture to open fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuottaja\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKongsgaard is a highly respected Napa Valley producer led by John and Alex Kongsgaard, known for crafting small-production wines of exceptional detail and personality.
