Lafond Vineyard Syrah

Lafond Vineyard Syrah Wine Details
Price: $38.00 per bottle

Description: A dry winter and spring in ‘03 set the stage for the development of small grape clusters and tiny berries. Winemaker Bruce McGuire harvested just one lot for this wine: the four rows in the northwest corner of our oldest block of Syrah. The Syrah clone selected for this wine is 100% “Estrella Clone” for spicy density and a persistent finish to fill out and balance the wine. The wine was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, 75% were new barrels. A fine choice for rustic, hearty fare and your favorite “stinky” cheese such as Taleggio from Italy or aged Red Hawk from California.
