Description:
At an elevation of 2200 ft. and within sight of the Pacific Ocean, the "Potato Patch" vineyard lives life on the extreme, begrudgingly yielding one ton per acre of the most extraordinary grapes. This Syrah is bold, dynamic and layered with dense fruit and spice complexity underscored with luxurious toasty vanilla oak.

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.
