Our Syrah hails from Bennett Valley, a tiny appellation in Sonoma County known or its volcanic soils, moderate growing season and a collection of growers that have all bought in to high quality wine grape production. We chose Bennett Valley because of its uniqueness and our belief that it could produce a California style Rhone Syrah wine. In 2006 we found Nolan Vineyard in Bennett Valley, a small grower focused solely on Syrah. Ken Hunt, the proprietor, has managed the 3.5 acre site since its inception. His attention to detail and respect to the area and grape variety are second to none. Gradually we have moved to more of an emphasis on whole cluster and native yeast in the fermentation process, relying on the terroir and native yeasts for site expression.   Our 2020 Syrah opens with beautiful aromas of Black plums, plum sauce, ripe raspberries, dried Tobacco Leaves, green peppercorns, molasses, leather, and roasted meats. The flavors are similar to notes of juicy plums, chocolate, sweet red fruits. Tangy boysenberries, molasses, black tar and sweet barbecued meats.
