I tasted the 2021 Syrah Distenta III as a precise blend from barrel on July 6—it's due to be bottled in August. It comes from three estate vineyards: The Third Twin (51%), Cumulus (26%) and 23% Eleven Confessions (23%). The Syrah is blended with 11.3% Grenache, 3.3% Mourvèdre, 2.1% Petite Sirah, 0.9% Petit Manseng and 0.7% Muscat and was vinified using 21% whole clusters. It matured around 23 months in 53% new French oak, 43% one- to three-year-old barrels and 4% concrete. Opaque ruby-purple in the glass, the Distenta III's aromatic complexity requires plenty of patience, as a singular truffle, earth and coffee bean character gives way to electric streaks of crème de violette, blueberry liqueur and peppermint patty. The palate is medium to full-bodied and exceptionally light on its feet. It glides silkily through the mouth with fireworks of freshness, and its floral fruit is tempered by graphite tones. Around 1,880 cases and 600 magnums are projected to be released in January of 2024.

Syrah

Syrah er en af verdens mest karakterfulde rødvinsdruer og leverer kraftfulde, mørke og krydrede vine med en imponerende struktur. Den har sit historiske ophav i det nordlige Rhône, hvor ikoniske appellationer som Hermitage og Côte‑Rôtie har formet druens ry som en af verdens mest seriøse og lagringsdygtige sorter.

I dag dyrkes Syrah globalt — fra Frankrig til Australien (hvor den kaldes Shiraz), Sydafrika, Californien og Chile — og druen er kendt for at udtrykke både terroir og klima tydeligt. I køligere områder viser den sig med sort peber, violer og rød frugt, mens den i varme regioner får en mere moden, rig frugtprofil med noter af blomme, solbær og lakrids.
Strukturelt er Syrah mørk, tæt og tanninrig, ofte med en let røget eller kødfuld nuance, som sammen med dens dybe farve og markante krydderi gør den til en af de mest genkendelige vine på markedet. Syrah er samtidig rygraden i mange blends, især i Rhône‑stilen (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre).
