2022 Nemesis
Production Notes
82% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, 8% Grenache
“When I first started Linne Calodo, people kept asking me why I didn’t make a stand-alone Syrah. I began to see this question as my nemesis. Why were varietal wines still considered superior to blends? Why underestimate the complementary power of Grenache and Mourvèdre? So I created this wine called Nemesis, which is ironically all about grapes getting along.”
Tasting Notes:
Deep, dark brambly fruit aromas with notes of violets and vanilla. The palate is fresh, toasty and vibrant with boysenberry, black cherry, black fig, mineral and cured meat. Dense, seamless textures expand into a concentrated finish with notes of earth, baking chocolate and Provençale herbs.
Pressed into oak foudres and small French oak barriques. Blend assembled in March following harvest. Blend returned to oak foudres, large-format puncheons and 228-liter and 265-liter French oak barrels (50% total new oak) for maturation. Total aging: 19 months.
Racked for clarity, low sulfur additions, unfined and unfiltered.
