Tasting Notes:
Although we have always sourced fruit from Yorkville, the 2006 vintage was our first Syrah from the Yorkville Highlands appellation. Yorkville has surprising cold summer nights, with temperatures regularly dipping into the 40's. This allows the grapes to retain their natural acid, color, and fruit after the warm days. As a result, the '06 shows more of the blueberry, boysenberry, violet, and spice aromas and flavors. It is also the first vintage that we used Petite Sirah as a blending grape. The 4% addition of Petite Sirah resulted in more color and tannin, both of which naturally softened over time. With 20 years of cellar age, this wine is seductively soft and inviting of another sip... and another sip.... and another sip.
