The 2023 Santa Ynez Valley Syrah comes from two different sites within a couple miles of each other in Santa Ynez: the Pace Vineyard and Rusack Vineyard. Both sites benefit from afternoon breezes and cold nights to help retain acidity and balance the bright, warm, sunny days that grace the Santa Ynez Valley.

The Pace Vineyard, a small backyard family site we farm with Ryan's father and industry veteran, Randy, was planted by Ryan's family in 2000. We have made wine from here since Outward's inception in 2016.

This wine is the one exception to our single-varietal approach. We co-fermented the Syrah 100% whole cluster with 5% Viognier grapes also grown at the family site ... a blend inspired by the wines of Côte Rôtie. After 16 days on the skins, we pressed and then transferred to neutral French oak barrels to age for 10 months.

The 2023 release of this wine is everything we love about Syrah.
