From The Winemaker
The Source is 100% Syrah and 100% our inspiration for doing what we do. In 2023 the blend is composed of every Syrah block at the Copia Estate, giving us the complexity we are always chasing. Having this beauty in our glass speaks of the quiet power of the ancient seabed soils of the Estate. 2023's Source is intense, has an aromatic dark fruit profile of cassis and blackberry. It's smoky and has mineral and exotic spice notes (incense, pepper), with a powerful, yet supple and elegant structure of balanced tannins, concentration, and acidity. It's our best yet.
