Winemaker Notes
Inspired by the great wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this luscious Syrah-based blend displays an alluring nose of dark berries, meat and spice. On the palate, it is rich and weighty, with layered tannins and hints of toasty oak underscoring a lovely mix of sweet and savory elements.
Production
The 2014 growing season was our third exceptional vintage in a row, and one of our earliest harvests on record, with our final grapes arriving at the winery on October 14 - almost two weeks earlier than normal. Though the vintage presented drought conditions, perfectly timed spring rains were just what the vines needed to set an excellent crop. After an early budbreak, ideal summer weather allowed us to harvest all of our varieties at optimum ripeness, resulting in wines with alluring aromatics and beautiful fruit complexity.
