This 100% Syrah grape, grown in the Alexander Valley near Geyserville, is the Estrella River Clone on 101-14 rootstock.I have found this particular grape to be one of the most beautiful to grow here.I use this wonderful wine in all of my blends because it is so versatile.It has a smoky aroma and flavor, with a hint of dark chocolate and berries that linger on the palette forever.This wine recently won a SILVER MEDAL at the 2008 Sonoma County Harvest Fair.
