TASTING NOTES

Our richest, fullest, most densely packed. . . let’s call it what it is; the 2008 vintage produced a massive Dry Stack Vineyard Syrah. But 40% whole-cluster fermentation, a judicious saignée and prudent management of each barrel produced a fascinatingly fruity, smokey, spicy, minerally, deliciously savory, and for all its size, balanced wine.

Dark purple reddish in color with aromas of blackberry, kirsch, smoked meat, coffee, iron and earth. The palate is all about intense dark black fruits, game and undercurrents of smoke and spice with firm, ripe tannins providing structure and backbone. A powerful youngster that merits another year to two in the cellar before its decadent unveiling.
