The 2022 West Block Syrah, sourced from the windy Petaluma Gap, offers an exhilarating sensory journey with its dynamic flavor profile. Bursting with blackberry, blueberry, and intense violets, it captivates the senses from the first sip. Layers of black currant and Italian finocchiona unfold gracefully, reminiscent of slow-smoked brisket, while accents of Maldon sea salt, herbal garigue, and pink peppercorn add complexity and intrigue. Notes of wild sage and redwood further amplify its terroir-driven character, culminating in a Syrah that embodies the essence of its unique vineyard site.

Highlights
  • Varietal percentages : 100% Syrah
  • Vineyard(s) : West Block
  • Vineyard Notes : West Block is located in a cool, wind-blown area of Petaluma in the Sonoma Coast AVA. Planted in the early 90's to the Joseph Phelps clone of Syrah, this vineyard block is oriented east-west allowing even ripening during the long, extended growing season. The close proximity to the San Pablo Bay creates a maritime climate that further accentuates the cool climate of the vineyard. The soils are derived from decomposed sandstone and shale, adding intense structure and complexity to our West Block Syrah.
Winery Info
BRICK & MORTAR
Founded in 2011, brick & mortar focuses on single-vineyard Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, from select high-elevation vineyards. Like the great European wineries, they believe that the best wines express a unique time and place. So they let each of their distinct Napa Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Mendocino Ridge vineyards speak for themselves, with minimal intervention. They pick early, ferment with native yeasts, and use oak and sulfur judiciously, resulting in low-alcohol wines of grace and finesse.

Winemaker Notes
We strive to allow the site to shine in every wine we produce. West Block Syrah undergoes an extended cold soak until native yeast begin a spontaneous fermentation in open-top fermenters, where the grapes are punched down by hand once to twice per day. Our small lot fermentations, with 100% whole cluster, take upwards of a month before a light pressing to barrel for their extended aging. Our Syrah remains in 100% used French oak 500 liter puncheons for 6 months and then is racked once prior to bottling.
