"The color is dark black cherry and opaque. In the nose there are hints of earth, leather, spices and black cherries. It is elegant and medium bodied with excellent balance. The flavors are dark fruits with a spicy finish, which is smooth and long. This wine is approachable now but will continue to develop for a number of years."

Sonoma County is home to many of the great wines made in California and the reasons are obvious. There is lots of sunshine, abundant winter rainfall, coastal breezes that keep temperatures moderate and a diverse set of soils. The growing season is generally free of rain and Indian Summers can bring extended hang time resulting in wines of great flavor and structure. Our Sonoma County Syrah embodies all the best traits of Sonoma County wine. It is made from a selection of our best barrels. It is made in a style that can be enjoyed while young but also has the ability to develop secondary flavors with proper cellar aging. Our wines are made to be enjoyed with food. Enjoy this Syrah with grilled meats, pastas and pizza!
