2022 The Edge of the Wild (Syrah) – Sourced from a high elevation, northeast-facing echalas-trained block that catches the first rays of the new rising sun (obscure yet apropos musical reference here), this wine is composed of a field blend of Ryan’s favorite Syrah clones and was picked at low Brix with a bit of Mourvedre to co-ferment.
The fruit was then sent to low-intervention maestro Keith Johnson, where it was foot-trod (trodden?) with love and guided through 100% whole cluster native fermentation. Unfined and unfiltered. No new oak was used in the process.
The result…is why we love Syrah. 93 cases made.
