Combining the best characteristics of both cool- and warm-climate Syrah, this rich and complex wine drinks like a meal in a glass. Picked a little earlier to preserve the natural acidity from the vineyard, it still shows plenty of great fruit and savory characteristics and is the perfect partner for roast lamb and duck. From plantings originally started by Dick Graff (who founded the legendary Chalone Winery and created the Chalone AVA) at his personal vineyard in this most unique other-worldly place and micro-climate. While not certified, this vineyard was organically farmed in 2016. Only 2 Barrels Made.
