Specification

Producer

Longboard Vineyards

Longboard was born from the passion of Oded Shakked, surfer first, winemaker later, who brings a unique perspective to winemaking, or rather winegrowing as he prefers to call it. Longboard believes that great tasting wines are those that are true to the people and place that grew them. Thus, they extend the notion of “terroir” to include the human aspect, not just the soils, climate and weather.

Tasting Notes

Sleek and dense, this full-bodied Syrah offers polished texture with layers of dark fruit, dark chocolate, and meaty, gamey notes. Oak aging adds warm spices of vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon, enhancing its depth. Bright acidity and firm structure carry it through a long, memorable finish.

Food Matches

The grapes are destemmed and crushed into wooden tanks, where gentle pump-overs ensure soft yet thorough extraction. The wine is aged 28 months in French oak barrels
