Description:
In a short period of time Charlie Maridon’s two acre hillside vineyard has achieved a reputation as being one of the very best sources of Syrah in California. In order to optimize depth and complexity, this wine was carefully fermented in small open top tanks and aged for two years in 100% French oak. The result is a Syrah that impresses with both elegance and power. This new vintage is tightly allocated, so don’t miss this opportunity to confirm your order.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
