Palate
With enticing flavors of blackberry, plum, black cherry, mountain herbs, jasmine and even a hint of creosote undulating in and out as it evolves in the glass, this is a wine to spend an evening getting to know.
Growing Conditions
One reason I always love our Syrah is that its personality varies so dramatically from vintage to vintage depending on the growing season, with weather conditions at the time of budbreak through veraison and harvest all having a profound effect on the outcome.
Bottling
Bottled: March 2014.
Winemaking
The 2012 has the highest percentage of co-fermented viognier that we’ve used to date, at 8% of the overall blend. The effect of this addition is subtle, and is expressed in the floral notes and the complexity of the fruity flavors.
