Description:
Grown in the cool climate of Carneros in southern Sonoma County, a blend of Clone 174 and Clone 300 Syrah from the Las Madres Vineyard was used to produce a wine that provides a strong core of upfront fruit with a backbone and structured to allow the wine to age for many years to come.

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.
