Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Ruby red. Complex aromatics of boysenberry and violet with a spice box component of brown spices mixed with ground pepper. Nuanced and pure, the palate impression is streamlined and luxurious at once, with the layered, silky fruit lifted by the savory spice accents. The satiny texture here is paramount, leading into a fruit-driven finish with the tannins and structure completely integrated in the

collective impression.

    The 2018 Syrah Rodgers Creek is also terrific, with classic cool-climate notes of mulled red and black raspberries, white pepper, sappy herbs, and a kiss of bacon fat. Rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully textured, balanced, and seamless on the palate.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Skylark Rodgers Creek Vineyard Syrah spins back to an Old World, rustic style. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of savory spices, black fruit, and dried earthy notes. Enjoy it with a well-spiced lamb stew.(Tasted: August 15, 2022, San Francisco, CA)

Skylark, California
Skylark Wine Company is a collaboration between Boulevard Restaurant Wine Directors John Lancaster and Robert Perkins. John and Robert have run the wine program at the acclaimed Boulevard Restaurant in San Francisco for the past twelve years. During their tenure at Boulevard, they have built a close friendship, an inventory of wines from around the globe and a palate of tasting wines of the world from vintage to vintage.

This partnership has created long-term relationships with the entire scope of the wine industry, with winemakers, vineyard managers and owners. With these relationships, their next logical progression was the realization of a dream: making fine wine from select vineyards. While the original plan was simply a barrel, they quickly jumped in with 14 barrels of Syrah from the 2002 Harvest. Skylark Wine Company was formed.

"We strive to produce wines that crystallize our passion within each bottle. Because of our relationships with meticulous and respected grape growers, we have been able to produce wines of distinction and character that represent the best of what Northern California vineyards have to offer. We are proud of Skylark and hope to continue share these wines with family and friends, old and new." Thank you for your support.
John Lancaster and Robert Perkins

Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”

Sonoma Coast Wine

Sonoma County, California

View all products

A vast appellation covering Sonoma County’s Pacific coastline, the Sonoma Coast AVA runs all the way from the Mendocino County border, south to the San Pablo Bay. The region can actually be divided into two sections—the actual coastal vineyards, marked by marine soils, cool temperatures and saline ocean breezes—and the warmer, drier vineyards further inland, which are still heavily influenced by the Pacific but not quite with same intensity.

Contained within the appellation are the much smaller Fort Ross-Seaview and Petaluma Gap AVAs.

The Sonoma Coast is highly regarded for elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and, increasingly, cool-climate Syrah. The wines have high acidity, moderate alcohol, firm tannin, and balanced ripeness.
