Sensory Description:

This Syrah showcases a harmonious blend of floral, herbal, and spicy elements, highlighted by pronounced notes of blackberry, lavender, rose, white peppercorn, and graphite. The wine's complexity is matched by its delicate structure, presenting a palate where lively acidity and nuanced tannins bring forth a refreshing elegance. The subtle use of neutral oak allows the vibrant characteristics of the varietals to shine, reflecting the authenticity and vibrancy of the North Coast.

Winemaker’s Background:

Scott Schultz’s journey into winemaking began in Napa Valley, where he transitioned from the world of fine dining to wine production. Together with his wife, Jenny, Scott founded Jolie-Laide Wines in 2010, focusing on producing distinctive wines that are true to their origins. Their approach is grounded in a philosophy that embraces the 'Pretty-Ugly' — the beauty in the unconventional. They utilize minimal intervention techniques, including native yeast fermentations and limited sulfur additions, to craft wines that are expressive and unique.

Serving Suggestions:

The 2022 North Coast Syrah is versatile and can be enjoyed with a variety of culinary dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, robust stews, or charcuterie, accentuating the rich and earthy flavors of the food. Serving this wine slightly below room temperature will enhance its intricate flavor profile, making it an ideal choice for both casual gatherings and formal dinners.

The Jolie-Laide North Coast Syrah is not only a wine but a statement of artistry and connection to place, crafted by winemakers who cherish the nuances of every vineyard block. This wine is a celebration of the North Coast's diverse landscape and the creative spirit of its people, promising a memorable experience with every sip.
