From the Yorkville Highlands within Northern California’s Mendicino County, the High Rock Ranch Vineyard sits less than two dozen miles from the Pacific Ocean. This close proximity ensures sun-ripened fruit has freshness thanks to cooling sea breezes that blow off the water. Cooling evening temperatures also lend a hand in ensuring fruit maintains acidity.

Copain Winery’s High Rock Ranch Syrah showcases the region by delivering a full-bodied, richly concentrated wine with character. The dry red wine opens with layers of black fruit, including dried fig, plum, and cherry, that melds with toasted spice, woody herb, and a subtle smoked meaty quality that makes the wine incredibly food-friendly with anything you might throw on the grill. Pair with steaks, chicken, sausages, or fire-grilled vegetables. #Cheers
