2013 Radio-Coteau ‘Dusty Lane’ Syrah

The 2013 Radio-Coteau ‘Dusty Lane’ Syrah is a single vineyard’s wine produced by the Californian estate Radio-Coteau, one of the few winery estates in the United States to hold Demeter organic certification – the largest organisation for biodynamic agriculture.

The characteristics of the vineyard, consistently flushed with onshore cooling at dawn and dusk, contribute to develop flavours and to impart a vibrant fruit character to the wine. Radio-Coteau is also the only producer sourcing grapes from Dusty Lane vineyard, a situation that in France would be called monopole.

The 2013 Radio-Coteau ‘Dusty Lane’ is made exclusively from the grape variety Syrah and delivers aromas such as blackberry and cassis, but it also presents hints of camphor and asphalt. At The Beauty & The Taste, we think about this wine associated to very meaty meals: lamb, game and stew are fantastic partners of Radio-Coteau ‘Dusty Lane’ and we see it just right in the middle of the table during a Sunday roast. But please let us help you if you just need a companion for a cold night in, perhaps in front of a movie.
