2022 Turaco

2022 Turaco
Adelaida District, Paso Robles - 100% Syrah

Sourced from the rugged, high-elevation terrain of the Adelaida District, the 2022 Turaco is a vivid and untamed Syrah that captures the essence of its mountain home. This single-varietal, single-AVA bottling delivers power with precision—an ode to the wild beauty of the region and the depth Syrah can achieve in Paso Robles.

The nose bursts with blackberries, crushed violets, cracked pepper, and smoked herbs. On the palate, it’s expansive yet focused, with flavors of blueberry compote, charcuterie, graphite, and a subtle streak of minerality. The tannins are firm but polished, and the finish is long, savory, and just a touch feral—in the best possible way.

Named after the brilliantly colored African bird, Turaco is a wine that refuses to blend in. It’s captivating, structured, and unapologetically expressive—made for those who crave authenticity in the glass.

Enjoy now with grilled game meats or cellared for complexity to unfold over the next 8–10 years.
