2006 Syrah
Napa Valley

Crafted from hillside blocks in low-vigor volcanic soils at 1,500 feet, this 100% Syrah shows a taut, restrained character before erupting loads of oaky sweet spice, vanilla and co ...morecoa aromas. At its core, the 2006 Syrah is dense and deeply fruited with ripe blueberry and brooding black fruit, thick with fleshy texture and firm tannins.

2004 Syrah - Dakine Vineyard
Russian River Valley

DaKine is a Hawaiian Pidgin word that means "the best". Need we say more? This special Syrah is traditionally farmed by hand, producing a true field blend. After harvest, all grape ...mores are crushed then fermented in the same tank with a blend of Zinfandel for spiciness, Malbec for deep berry notes, Petite Syrah for structured tannins, and Carignane and Grenache to bring out earthiness. This is a wine that honors the simple life, and is meant to be shared with closest friends and family. Or, the occasional attractive stranger, of course.

2004 Syrah
Russian River

The 2004 vintage in the Russian River Valley was is remembered as one that delivered a small crop of high quality grapes. The vines budded very early and heat spikes in mid summer ...moreassured the crop ripened well with ample natural acidity. Grapes from Jim Ledbetterâ€™s Preston Ranch Vineyard, a hillside vineyard overlooking the Russian River, make about 40% of this wine. Grapes from Scott Kersonâ€™s vineyard on Fitch mountain, Vino Farmâ€™s Silk Road Vineyard and Jeff Webberâ€™s ranch on Chalk Hill Road make up the rest.

This release of the RRV Syrah shows an inviting minty note that blends into the dark berry character as the wine opens up in the glass. A wild fennel spiciness leads to a lush, velvety mid-palate and reappears on the long finish. As with all the wines of Longboard, the point of this wine is to strike a balance of components that delivers a complex and layered experience that is true to the variety and the growing season.

After traditional punchdowns to mix the cap and juice it spent 18 months in French Oak. This bold Syrah is dark and rich with warm earth, spice and leather tones, and black stone fruit on the palate.
