2018 Syrah
We are delighted for our premier offer of a small Syrah vineyard in Glen Ellen area of Sonoma Valley. This 1/2 acre is hand and organically farmed by the Knight family, and hand picked by us!
The valley the vineyard is situated and sees considerable fog, ripens slowly in the cool climate, creating a classic Northern Rhone style Syrah, perhaps one of our best yet. The color is a pretty, bright garnet, with classic Northern Rhone notes of dried herbs, thyme, cured meat, black olive. Pair with grilled lamb, duck and other game poultry, grilled eggplant.
We loved this special little vineyard, and were heartbroken to learn that it did not survive the 2020 Glass fire.
Only 2 barrels, 50 cases crafted.
