$16.00 per bottle
Description:
The Syrah for this wine came from Paso Robles and our Estate vineyard. This is our 7th vintage of this wine and I am so excited about it that I named it “Tous les Jours” (or “Everyday” to us Americans) to signify its immense drinkability.
We feel the wine makes an ideal “House Wine”; the wine you open just for the heck of it, or just to pour a single glass, the rest to be enjoyed later. And at this price, why not?
Once we had the grapes, we gave them the same attention to detail as the rest of our estate wines. We used open-top fermentation in small bins, with frequent punch downs for extraction and color. We then aged the various wines for 11 months in a mix of new and 1-3 year old French oak barriques. It is highly drinkable right now, however, it will reward the patient with another couple years of aging.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
