“The 2021 Syrah Estate Donna's Block is a supremely elegant wine that shows why Syrah is so compelling in the Sta. Rita Hills, especially in a cooler year. Bright and effusive, with tremendous fruit purity, the 2021 dazzles right out of the gate. Crushed blueberry fruit, lavender, spice and mint are full of exotic flair. Even with all of its flavor intensity, the 2021 remains light on its feet. There's plenty of whole cluster savoriness, but the stems are very nicely integrated.”

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
