Winemaking Notes
This is a rich, dark, deeply layered Syrah reminiscent of its age-worthy Northern Rhône cousins. Aromas of black plum and forest floor introduce a full-bodied palate of black and blue berries with subtle savory and pepper notes, that finishes long and earthy with firm tannins.

Vineyard Notes
The addition of high-elevation Trinity Ridge Vineyard, beginning with the 2017 vintage, opened a whole new chapter for us.
This dramatic site with its breathtaking views high atop Moon Mountain, produces strikingly pure, deep, bright Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc from its rugged, rocky, windswept volcanic terrain. Its mere nine acres of vines (out of 44 total) offer a diverse mosaic of soils, microclimates and exposures for these varieties to produce intensely flavored wines of rich texture and complexity.
The south and west-facing blocks are ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, while Syrah (and now, Chardonnay!) thrive in the cooler bowl section of the vineyard.
