Description:
Due to its interesting terroir, Colson Canyon has become one of the premier Rhône varietal vineyards in Santa Barbara County. Situated in the Santa Maria Hills high above the morning fog, these grapes bask in the sun and revel in the warm nights. The wine stands firm with flavors of leather, tobacco and coffee but shows its softer side with intense black cherry and raspberry and will endear your heart forever with its chocolate finish. If you can resist opening this wine now, it will mature beautifully over the next 10 years.

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.
