2022 DuMOL Eddie's Patch Russian River Syrah

Power wrapped in poise. Eddie’s Patch Syrah comes from hillside vines in the Hoppe-Kelly site, a cool, fog-kissed corner with rocky, volcanic soils and morning sun. The 2022 release layers dense fruit over savory detail, its whole-cluster verve and French oak polish shaping fine, persistent tannins and mineral drive. Cellar or savor.

Nose — Black cherry and blackberry pastille mingle with rosemary, lavender, tapenade, peppercorn, potpourri, and a touch of tobacco. Vivid and complex.

Palate — Full and focused; cassis, blueberry, and mocha ride lively acidity, with crushed-stone lift and firm, mouth-coating tannins shaped for longevity.

Finish — Long and savory, echoing licorice, floral tones, and mineral snap that keep the dark fruit fresh and refined. Decant if opening early

Ribeye with rosemary butter excels. Braised short ribs feel tailor-made. Try grilled lamb, duck with five-spice, or porcini risotto; the structure embraces richness.
