2024 Roper Reserve Syrah

You know someone who only drinks Cabernet. They're loyal to it, they'll tell you about it, and they're skeptical of everything else. Buy them a bottle of Roper and let the wine do the talking. This is the boldest, most generous red we make - a cool-climate Syrah with the kind of depth and structure that earns 93 points from James Suckling and Best of Class at the SF Chronicle. It's the bottle for the long dinner, the celebratory table, or for passing around a fire at the end of a long day outdoors.

Pair this with slow-smoked brisket, a bone-in ribeye, lamb chops with herbs, a serious charcuterie board with aged cheeses and cured meats. Open it at a dinner where someone at the table always orders Cabernet - pour them this and watch what happens. Also the obvious choice for any occasion with a Western spirit: a rodeo tailgate, a ranch dinner, a night around the fire.

100% Syrah.

"Have you ever tried to swirl a lasso? It is harder than it looks — a blend of physics and finesse. Like winemaking, creating balance is key. Roper pays tribute to the cowboys everywhere who make their art look easy. Share a bottle with your favorite cowboy. It just might rope in that big Cabernet lover."
Cheers, Kim
