Notes on the Wine
Step into the wild with the 2021 County Line Syrah Sonoma Coast. A deep, mesmerizing violet color extends to the nose, joining dark fruited bramble notes of blackberry jam. Flavorsome hints of black pepper, mixed olives, wild mushrooms, and cured game fill this cool-climate Syrah with woodsy character. Each satiating sip grips the palate with tingling acidity and smooth, muscular tannins. This cozy wine has warm notes well-suited for pairing with a traditional duck confit or enjoyed alongside spicy mushroom moussaka.
Notes on the Producer
Eric Sussman is an icon in California. After establishing Radio-Coteau in 2002, Eric created County Line, which is more of a side project than a ‘second wine.’ Whatever you want to call it, County Line remains one of the best values in the New California movement.
