Most of the grapes used for making this wine came from a hillside
vineyard owned by Oakmont Vineyards. This is the fourth year that
we are making Syrah from this vineyard and the terroir is
definitely identifiable. We picked the fruit when it was completely
mature. We hand sorted the fruit, delayed the fermentation by two
days and used our Submerged Cap Fermentation Tank that keeps the
skins submerged throughout the fermentation for better flavor
extraction and softer tannins.
This wine has deep red color with a classical Syrah aroma of
black and green peppercorn combined with a woody cedar character.
The dark berry flavors carry to the palate adding layers of cherry
and pomegranate. This well balanced wine is full of bright fruit
and very dry. The wine finishes with a long and lingering finish
adding baking type spicy flavors combined with toasty and almost
meaty notes.
