100% Syrah

98 Pts jeb Dunnuck | $115

Delivering luxury in every sip, Intrepid is 100% Syrah, showcasing the purest expression of the varietal’s strength and grace. Sourced primarily from Block 2 (Clone 383) and Block 6 (Clone 174), which together form the heart of the blend, this wine showcases the most dynamic and compelling fruit our estate offered in this standout vintage. Aged for 27 months in designated new French oak, it carries layered notes of dark plum, smoked meats, iron and graphite, with an undercurrent of crushed stone and savory spice. A touch of whole cluster (7%) brings complexity that frames the wine’s rich core. On the palate, it’s broad-shouldered and deeply structured, with firm yet polished tannins that stretch into a long, dry finish. Subtle hints of espresso, charr, herbs, and dark chocolate add dimension without overshadowing the purity of fruit. While built to reward time in the cellar, Intrepid’s natural vibrancy and rich texture make it strikingly enjoyable in its youth.
