Description:
Fruit for this vineyard-designated wine came from the Rodney Shull Vineyard, part of Fess Parker’s estate in Santa Ynez Valley. Situated atop a mesa, the vineyard enjoys warm temperatures tempered by morning fog and cool afternoon breezes. This Syrah is expressive and richly layered, displaying aromas of plum, blackberry, coffee and dark chocolate. The wine culminates in a velvety, smoky finish.

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.
