About The Wine
For the past decade we have been strong proponents of organic farming. In addition to the obvious environmental benefits, we find the fruit from organically-farmed vineyards to be more vibrant, balanced and expressive of the terroir. By using organic techniques, we are essentially putting back into the land more than we are taking out. The soils are enriched and vine fertility is strong. Our program was developed with the help of Phil Coturri, our managing vineyard consultant. Phil has farmed in the Sonoma Valley using organic techniques for more than 25 years.
Our 2005 Sonoma Valley Syrah is composed of grapes grown on our organically-farmed, estate vineyard surrounding the winery. This is the heart of the Sonoma Valley – a bucolic setting of rolling hills, well-tended vineyards and soaring oaks.
Tasting Notes
Our 2005 Sonoma Valley Syrah is deep and powerful. The color is near black and the bouquet is a mix of dark fruit, earth, leather, pepper and stone. The dominant character of the Syrah grape is augmented by the compelling personality of our estate vineyard.
