Description:
We are making quite a bit of Syrah these days. Taking its place alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, Syrah will become a cornerstone varietal for Nicholson Ranch. With only an acre of estate Syrah, and a belief that "cool climate" Syrah was a worthy pursuit, 2002 saw the inauguration of our Los Carneros Syrah program with the production of 588 cases made with fruit from the Hudson Vineyard on the Napa side of the Carneros. Fruit for the 2003 Los Carneros is from Las Madres Vineyard in the Sonoma Carneros. Bottled simply as "Los Carneros," it will become a staple at Nicholson Ranch for the foreseeable future. This new Los Carneros bottling differs widely from the 2002 version. Where the 2002 wine was very European in style, the Las Madres version is all California; lush black fruits with a big cooking spice nose, complemented by every savory sensation known to humankind. We are so pleased with this wine that, beginning in 2004, it will be vineyard-designated as "Las Madres." I hope you enjoy the new Los Carneros Syrah, and I encourage you to follow, and sample, our growing Syrah program!
