Guthrie Family Wines “Electric” Syrah, Sonoma, California 2019
Owner-winemaker Blair Guthrie (who also makes the wines for Stewart Cellars in Napa Valley) foot-stomps this Syrah and lets it rest a few days, so a sneaky bit of carbonic fermentation happens at the bottom of the bins. The result: dark fruit that's still light on its feet.
Tasting Notes
"Very-cherry jelly beans and juicy Santa Rosa plum, bright and fresh with a gentle, peppery frame. Drink now or hold through 2030. Pair with grilled lamb burgers, carnitas or smoky barbecue." — Harvest Wine Shop
