Winemaking Excellence

The 2019 growing season delivered ideal conditions—moderate warmth extended hang time, allowing grapes to develop rich, concentrated flavors. Harvested on October 13th, the fruit underwent wild fermentation with 50% whole clusters (a 20% increase from prior vintages) to enhance aromatic intensity and structured tannins. Despite a brief pause due to wildfire precautions, the wine’s slow primary fermentation and spring 2020 secondary fermentation ensured nuanced development.

Tasting Profile & Aging

Aged for 12 months in neutral French oak and once-filled Hungarian oak barrels, this Syrah balances power with elegance. Expect layered dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes, supported by a velvety texture and 14.7% alcohol for a lingering finish.
