Usually ready in 1 hour
Crafted by acclaimed winemaker Tony Biagi and sourced from the renowned Hudson Vineyard, Mābon Syrah highlights a cooler, more savory side of Napa Valley. Though Hudson is most famous for Chardonnay, this 1989 Syrah block has become a benchmark for Rhône varietals in Carneros—marrying structure, aromatic lift, and Northern Rhône-like depth.
-
WINEMAKER: Tony Biagi
-
VARIETY: 100% Syrah
-
TERROIR: Hudson Vineyard, planted in 1989, sits in the heart of Carneros where marine breezes and well-draining volcanic and clay-loam soils shape a long growing season. Known for its natural acidity and layered fruit, the vineyard is among California’s most distinctive Syrah sites.
-
VINIFICATION: Fermented with native yeast and 30% whole cluster inclusion, enhancing savory and floral complexity.
-
AGING: 16 months in French oak, 50% new—selected for restraint and transparency of site.
-
TASTING NOTES: Saturated purple with an expressive nose of blackberry compote, clove, lavender, cracked peppercorn, and iron-rich minerality. The palate is bold yet lifted, with gamey undertones, smoked meat, and baking spice leading into a long, floral finish. Textural precision meets aromatic generosity.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Chargrilled lamb chops, duck breast with five-spice, aged Manchego, or eggplant tagine.
