Black Oak Vineyard Syrah

Black Oak Vineyard Syrah Wine Details
Price:

Description: The wonderful people who own this vineyard, Dan and Meagan Reeves, approached me in 2003 to see if I wanted to work with their fruit grown at this steep well maintained vineyard planted deep in the valley of Alisos Canyon north of the road. I take two clones from this vineyard (877 & 99) and ferment them separately choosing ten barrels to be bottled as a vineyard designate. I share this vineyard with Bob Lindquist and Kris Curran and we are lucky to be the recipients of this world-class fruit. The wine is very dark, dense, and tight. I do not make wines that are excessively ripe and this is the poster child for my style of elegant, age-worthy, food agreeable, and in perspective balanced wine.
