American Wine Society SOCAL Chapter

American Wine Society SOCAL Chapter Wine is the music of a place: unique, unrepeatable. Its beauty depends on when you open it, with whom you drink it, the harmony you create.

AWS SoCal was created to learn, experience and share the beauty of wine with a community of like-minded enthusiasts

Syrah is a charming chameleon of a grape, whose wines vary from the complex, peppery stars of France’s Northern Rhône Valley to the rich, full-fruited blockbusters of Australia (where they call it ‘Shiraz’). This stunning example hails from California’s premium Sonoma region, where Syrah takes on a whole new level of sophistication …

And who better to give you a taste than DeLoach Vineyards, a 12-time Wine & Spirits Winery of the Year? From prime-sited vineyards throughout the sought-after Russian River Valley. Here, chilly temperatures and trademark fog slow the ripening of grapes at night, so they hang on the vine longer and develop fuller, more concentrated flavors.

You’re in for ripe blackberry, espresso, and classic black pepper aromas. On the palate, there’s more rich black fruit, plus chocolatey spice notes that carry through to the long, silky finish. An impressive dinner party wine, this smooth Syrah will pair well with slow-cooked meats, charred portobello mushrooms, and more.

Very limited cases – have your personal wine ambassador place your order today!
