The 2023 Aspire is a commanding expression of estate Syrah, shaped by what stands as one of the most compelling vintages for the variety on the property. A cooler growing season allowed Syrah to express its full varietal identity, delivering intensity, spice, and structure with remarkable clarity.

Aromas of black and blue fruit, cracked pepper, and savory spice lead, underscored by distinctive notes of iodine, iron, and smoked meat that evoke the Northern Rhône. Grenache adds lift and aromatic brightness, while the palate is full-bodied and commanding, framed by fine-grained tannins and layered with dark fruit, mineral tension, and subtle oak spice. Fermented with 7% whole cluster and aged in 65% new French oak, the wine balances intensity, structure, and precision.

Structured, brooding, and deeply age-worthy, the 2023 Aspire is a serious Syrah built for long-term cellaring, offering remarkable depth and a persistent, evolving finish.
