Tasting Notes

The Andremily Syrah 2020 opens with an intoxicating bouquet of blackberry liqueur, blueberry compote, smoked herbs, bacon fat, and crushed violet, layered with notes of graphite, lavender, licorice, and cocoa. On the palate, it is full-bodied, lush, and multi-dimensional, delivering waves of dark fruit, espresso, and savory spice supported by silky tannins and vibrant freshness. The texture is sumptuous yet focused, finishing long, pure, and mineral-driven — an exquisite interplay of power, energy, and polish.

Vintage Highlights

The 2020 vintage in California presented challenges across the state, but in the Central Coast, Andremily achieved brilliance through meticulous vineyard selection and timing. Sourced from elite sites including White Hawk, Larner, and Alta Mesa, the fruit was hand-harvested at optimal ripeness. The wine was aged for 22 months in French oak barrels (60% new), gaining depth, texture, and aromatic complexity. The result is one of the most refined and complete Andremily Syrahs ever produced — a vintage of intensity, precision, and harmony.
