Meyer Family Cellars Syrah Yorkville Highlands 2015
Syrah Blends | US
Today's humble offering (one that’s 50% off…yahoo!) has deep ties to one of California's most iconic wineries. Yes, the family that built one of the most well-known names in Napa Cabernet is behind this charming winery tucked away in a bucolic, conifer-lined corner of the Yorkville Highlands (that's Mendocino County, just south of Anderson Valley). We're talking the legend of Silver Oak.
The 2015 Syrah aged for 20 months in barrel before release in the fall of 2017. Since then, it has begun to evolve into a densely ripe, yet lively wine that oozes character and enjoyment. Fruit-forward notes of black plums, blueberries and raspberry liqueur are met with hints of pepper, leather, violets and toast. There's a boldness to the palate with just a bit of grit from the minuscule addition of Petite Sirah. Complex and just yummy, this will stand up nicely to anything grilled, smoked and slathered in BBQ sauce.
And WOW, 50% off? Only $14 a bottle?! $84 a 6-pack with shipping included? Sometimes it feels like we're just giving away wine these days. While it lasts, folks!
About the Producer
In 1987 when Napa Cabernet was everything anyone could talk about and Silver Oak was racking up scores and accolades left and right, Bonny and Justin Meyer made a dream a reality by purchasing the winery that would become Meyer Family Cellars. They saw it as a place to scale back into, and a project in which their son, Matt, could hone his winemaking skills. Since then, they've been cranking out delicious Syrahs and Chardonnays, and selling Bonny's Cabernet, the vineyard source of their Oakville Cabernet, through this family endeavor.
