Estate Vineyard
PERFECT! 2013 HAD GREAT GROWING CONDITIONS WITH MINIMAL APRIL FROST, WARM DAYS/COOL NIGHTS IN JULY AND AUGUST, THEN A FULL INDIAN SUMMER IN MID-SEPTEMBER. VINEYARD YIELDS WERE NORMAL DESPITE LOW WINTER RAINFALL WHILE QUALITY APPEARS EXCELLENT DUE TO SMALL BERRY SIZE.

Destemmed and crushed into a stainless fermentor, then inoculated 24 hours later with d254 yeast. The must was pumped over twice daily for 7 days prior to the addition of brandy to halt fermentation. After pressing and settling, this wine was aged in French oak barrels for 17 months prior to bottling.
17 moths in French oak.
Think romance!! This syrah port enhances many desserts especially chocolate or pungent cheeses. It continues to be our favorite wine for sipping by a roaring fire.
