2013 proved to be an excellent year in Napa Valley. It was slightly
warmer than 2012, resulting in an overall earlier growing season.
Lower than normal rainfall paired with moderate spring weather
brought early bud break and bloom. Sunny skies throughout the
summer months led to early veraison and harvest. Warm daytime
temperatures followed by cool nights prior to harvest produced
evenly ripened fruit with ideal hang time.
Our Syrah has deep and dark flavors that are accentuated by elegant
vanilla and spice from the French oak barrels. Over the 20 months of
aging, the tannins soften and create a luscious body. 55% new French oak for
20 months.
Syrah’s most classic pairing is its best: roasted lamb. The darker
notes suggest black olives, fennel, and roasted potatoes on the side.
Or, throw a fiesta and fry some carnitas top with roasted peppers.
