Winemaking
This wine is a blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Petite Sirah. Its name, Eunoia is a rhetorical term that refers to the feeling of good will that exists between a speaker and their audience. The literal translation from Greek is “well minded or beautiful thinking”. Aristotle uses the term to describe the kind and benevolent feelings of good will a spouse has for their partner. When we were conceptualizing the wines that would make our In Medias Res brand we knew that we wanted a wine that would exemplify and encompass the best efforts of the people and the benevolence of the land. Eunoia is the vehicle for those efforts. The wine comprises parts of what we consider the most expressive lots of each vintage put together in a way to reflect the epitome of SōNA Estate.
