Description:
This is my big hedonistic wine. Dark, nuanced with toasty vanillin oak tones and ripe dark fruit and sexy velvety rich mouth feel. Big delicious wine from the warmest vineyard I work with. Very aggressive farming by the best in the business Coastal Vineyard Care as we pass and pass again fine tuning the clusters so that they are living together in perfect harmony. Aged sixteen months in a mixture of new and used Francoise Frères barrels and kept at the Margerum cool winery untouched and racked only once. It’s good and good for you.

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.
