Dark, pure berry fruit drives this 2021 Alban Patrina Estate Syrah, wrapped in velvety tannins and lifted by notes of violet, cracked pepper, dark chocolate and a touch of savory meat. The small addition of Viognier brings a subtle floral brightness and polish, giving the wine a seamless, graceful feel and a long, flavorful finish.
Grilled lamb chops with rosemary; Braised short ribs; Five-spice duck breast

Patrina is Alban Vineyards’ approachable estate Syrah—a blend drawn from the patchwork of Edna Valley blocks rather than a single site—crafted in a concentrated, perfume-driven style (recent bottlings have included a small percentage of Viognier). Bottled unfined and unfiltered after roughly 22 months in French oak, it offers plush black‑and‑blue fruit, violet and peppery floral notes, savory mineral undertones and silky tannins as an accessible entry point to Alban’s more terroir‑specific Syrahs.
