Our most sensitive winter variety this 2016 Syrah is our first vintage post the "polar vortex" winters of 2014 and 2015 and it was well worth the wait.  Consistent with all our previous small-lot Syrahs, this wine was made exclusively with grapes hand-harvested from our vineyard.  It was fermented in half-ton bins and aged in French barriques for 18 months.  This wine exhibits dark fruit flavours, a spicy nose, and a silky smooth texture with soft tannins.  It pairs particularly well with grilled tuna, cured meats, braised beef and lamb!

In 2008 we planted a half-acre of two Italian varieties, Barbera and Nebbiolo.  Both native to our heritage that, based on our research, we felt could produce outstanding wines on our site.  The trail planted at a higher vine density versus the original vineyard planting to optimize vine balance and cropped to a low yield to maximize grape cluster quality.  This Nebbiolo represents our first release of Nebbiolo from the planting.  The heavy clay soil in our vineyard accentuated the classic tar aromas of the Nebbiolo grape.  Aged 34-months in French oak barriques to soften the tannins, the result is a perfectly-balanced fruit forward red wine.

Our inaugural Sparkling Rosé is done in the charmat/tank method.  This Rosé displays a beauitful fruit character on the nose with a hint of residual sweetness to balance off the acidity and bubbles.  Incredibly versatile, it's the perfect pair to your next special occasion, brunch or to enjoy poolside throughout the remainder of the summer!
