Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2012 Matchbook Syrah is the perfect example of why we love to grow this Mediterranean varietal. The aromas are an enticing mix of cocoa powder, plum, violets and earth. Juicy blackberry and raspberry are followed by long lingering flavors of dark chocolate truffles and smoked bacon. This is a rugged and robust Syrah that will pair well with slow cooked ribs or roasted game.

Blend: 91% Dunnigan Hills Syrah, 5% Mendocino Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Chalk Hill Cabernet Sauvignon

Professional Ratings

89 Wine Enthusiast
This medium-bodied wine shows an array of smoky, meaty aromas, along with ripe plum and tart blackberry flavors. Not at all overripe, but made with some restraint, it allows savory flavors like tarragon and anise to peek through. The blend includes 9% Cabernet Sauvignon.

East of Napa, Left of Center: The Giguiere family embodies Dunnigan Hills winemaking. In 1981 they pioneered grape growing in this region when they planted their first vineyard. By 1993, they had succeeded in creating the Dunnigan Hills as a nationally recognized American appellation. The Matchbook flame is an homage to the Giguiere brothers’ youthful fascination with fire. Today, Matchbook Wine Company produces wines showcasing the varietals that perform best in their Northern California climate.
