SKU: SYR02HV is SOLD OUT!
This is a specially elected clone of Syrah, which adapts particularly well to steep hillside sites, not unlike Cote-Rotie. We have adapted traditional winemaking techniques to better fit the quality of our fruit, so we use no new oak and no Viognier, instead opting for an 18 month aging regimen in one and two year old barrels. This Syrah is fruit-forward, with ripe berries and sweet Santa Rosa plum aromas and flavors. Very rich and supple, this Syrah drinks well now and will develop nicely over the next five years.
