Proximity to the San Francisco bay and it’s moderating influences produces wines deep in color with rich, concentrated fruit flavor and lovely acidity. Vinification Syrah grapes were gently crushed to minimize crushing of berries and maximize fruit character. We fermented at 85 degrees-F with a Syrah yeast strain, and extracted color utilizing gentle irrigation over the skins. The wine underwent malo-lactic fermentation and was barrel aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for 19 months. The wine was not fined and received one filtration prior to bottling. The resulting blend received six months of bottle age prior to release. Tasting Notes Our 2002 Syrah is a rich, powerful wine, with concentrated yet elegant flavors. Deep purple-ruby in color with spicy fruit aromas, the wine has a rich mouthfeel and distinct, yet elegant, tannins. Aging 19 months in French and American oak barrels adds complexity and finesse, without overpowering the supple fruit. With excellent structure and firm tannins anchoring a delicious core of wild berry, blackberry and spice that expands to show vanilla oak and earthy nuances, this wine has a plush, mouth filling texture and a long powerful finish. A great companion to food, this wine will continue to mature gracefully for many years. This wine is sold out, but the 2004 vintage has just been released!
