2019 Caleta Syrah BTG
In Stock
Our first bottling since 2014. Sitting
four miles from the cold Monterey Bay and tucked into a box
canyon that fills and empties with fog every day, the
microclimate could be considered too extreme to ripen Syrah.
But try we must! Caleta will never be an every-year thing, but a welcome addition to our cellar on those vintages with drier, warmer springs when fruit
set can occur. In 2018, all the stars aligned and we found
ourselves picking fully ripe, remarkably clean Syrah on
Halloween weekend! Fermented on 100% whole clusters and
elevated with zero SO2 until bottling, this wine—savory and
perfumed to the extreme—shows what is possible with coastal
California Syrah.
