Bacon fat and black olive notes mingle with dense dark fruit on the nose, while the palate turns soft and round, framed by velvety, refined tannins and fresh acidity. Plum, blueberry, graphite, and sweet tobacco carry through a smooth, complex, and refined finish. Drink 2024 through 2030, or cellar up to a decade; pair with grilled lamb, charcuterie, or anything off the smoker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97% Syrah co-fermented with 3% Viognier, hand-harvested October 5, 2022 — the Syrah from Dineen's own Catherine's and Bridget's blocks, the Viognier from Rose's block.

Pat, a Wisconsin dairy farmer's son with Irish roots and a 40-year banking career behind him, and Lanie built the vineyard around a simple family philosophy: \"Agriculture connects us to the earth, wine connects us to one another.\" For years, Dineen was known as the grower the pros bought from — its fruit went into some of Washington's most celebrated wines long before the family bottled a drop under its own label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, second-generation vintner Marissa Dineen leads the estate alongside winemaker Brian Mackey, formerly head red winemaker at Chateau Ste. Michelle. The vineyard's individual blocks are named for the women of the family — Catherine's, Lanie's, Marissa's, Bridget's, Charlotte's, Quinn's, and Rose's — and the estate farms under dual Lodi Rules and Sustainable WA certification, a boutique, family-run operation producing Bordeaux- and Rhône-inspired wines in small, deliberate lots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dineen Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57881719865731,"sku":"DNN10722","price":49.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/DineenVineyardsSyrah.png?v=1777041342","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/dineen-vineyards-syrah-2022","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
