2019 Syrah

Edna Valley

We farm three blocks of Syrah at Jespersen Ranch, our cool climate vineyard in the Edna Valley. This wine combines fruit from all three blocks, and is a great representation of the breadth of the vineyard and the site-specific personality of the varietal. We hand-sorted, destemmed and gravity-fed the grapes into small open-top stainless-steel tanks in our Craft Winery.  In 17% of the tanks, we included green stems to add layers of flavor and spice. We aged the wine in standard barrels, 31% of which were new French Oak, for 20 months. This is a rich wine with dark fruit, savory notes (capers), toasty oak, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
