Description:
The fruit for our Syrah is grown both at our estate vineyard in Rutherford and a block farther south in the Napa Valley. The Syrah from our vineyard provides the backbone of the blend with deep black fruits and tannin structure, while the other block, grown in a cooler site, contributes boosted pepper and berry notes.

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.
