Description:
The name Ocala is inspired by the obsidian arrowheads that pepper our vineyard in Rutherford. Like the Native American crafts, this Syrah represents our finest effort. We have hand-selected clusters from our best blocks and gently crafted them in the cellar to express the wine’s “sense of place."

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.
