2006 Syrah Sélectionné
With so many exceptional Syrahs in our cellar each year, it’s
always a challenge choosing the best barrels from which to
make the Sélectionné. The selection varies from year to year,
but the blend will always showcase the very diverse range of
Syrah characteristics within the Paso Robles appellation. The
resulting fruit character will always be bolstered by the
judicious application of just the right amount of oak, with a
wide array of coopers used to bring out the best in each lot. In
2006, we combined wines from five different growers, and the
emphasis is on big, bold, black fruit. The tannins are firm but
forgiving, yielding to some smoky, very Northern-Rhône
flavors. The mouth feel is plush and ponderous, with enough
acidity to carry some complexity through to the long finish.
Blend: 100% Syrah
2006 Cognito
Bursting with layers of fresh fruit, this wine shows lively
Grenache aromas and spicy Zinfandel character, tempered by
the firm and earthy structure of Syrah and Mourvèdre. The
2006 Cognito is exceptionally approachable already, and will continue to develop over the next four years.
Blend: 45% Mourvèdre, 20% Syrah, 20% Zinfandel, 15% Grenache
