2004 Syrah, Dry Creek Valley
Dry Creek Valley

The Handley Vineyard Syrah is rich and complex. Much of this complexity is due to the fact that it is made from two Syrah clones from our Dry Creek Valley vineyard. Clone 877 provi ...moredes dark raspberry and chocolate notes, and clone 470 contributes much of the structure and tannins. The wine offers aromas of rose and licorice. The licorice notes continue on the front of the palate, moving into strawberries and chocolate through the long textured finish.

2005 Syrah
Redwood Valley, Kazmet Vineyard

Kazmet Vineyard, farmed by Leila Kazimi and Neal Mettler, lies in the western foothills of Redwood Valley. This small valley (covering about 35 square miles), was first settled and ...more planted by Italian immigrants in the 1850â€™s, but did not gain official status as an appellation until1997. The Syrah vines in Kazmet Vineyard are beautiful head-trained specimens, planted about nine years ago. California coastal ranges protect the vineyard from much of the cooling influence of the Pacific Ocean, allowing Syrah grapes to come to full ripeness.

Reminiscent of a Rhone style Syrah, this wine displays characteristics of bright red berry fruit with underlying blackberry and blueberry intensity, enhanced by a touch of tobacco.

Our Syrah was destemmed, and the cap punched down in small open top fermentation bins over a two week period. The barrels were 25% new oak, and this blend was finalized in October 2006. The wine was not fined, but was filtered before bottling on December 7, 2006.

2004 Syrah
Sonoma Coast

Two vineyards give distinctive characteristics to the final blend that synergistically meld into a complexity, depth, and richness that is unusual for Syrah. Hummingbird Hill fruit ...more provides ripe blackberry flavor and a viscous mouth feel, while Clary Ranch Vineyard fruit provides low pH (3.39), white pepper, a blueberry component and overall finesse. Elements of this wine remind us of the cold northern RhÃ´ne region of France, yet it has a fullness and elegance that says California. This duplicity is what makes wines from the Sonoma Coast so unique.

2005 NICHOLLS Syrah, Santa Barbara County
White Hawk Vineyard

We sourced our fruit from a vineyard located on the south-facing slope of Cat Canyon, a side canyon of the Los Alamos Valley in Santa Barbara County. Planted at 900 feet of elevati ...moreon on pure sand, water and nutrients are immediately drained off forcing the vines to work extra-hard to survive. The resulting yields are miniscule and the berries are intense. A strong core of acidity is complemented by elements of spice, meat and blackberries. A terrific, big Rhone-style Syrah with just enough acidity to make it perfect with food. Try throwing a hanger steak on the grill and opening a bottle of this wine!
