***SOLID6 SELECTION***

Notes: This unique property is on the western, cooler side of Sonoma Mountain, in the Petaluma Gap AVA, is home to vines planted back in 2002 800 feet up the southwestern face of the mountain. The vines of Syrah and Viognier grow upon old, rocky volcanic soils. The blend is 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier. After harvest the Syrah grapes are left whole cluster at 30% and the Viogner is co-fermented. The wines are then aged sur lies with monthly bātonnage and rested 25 months in 100% new French barrels. The final result is bottled without filtration.

Aromatically the wine is intriguingly savory, with notes of salted meat, and fresh cracked pepper alongside the combination of red and blackberry fruits. On the palate, the wine is balanced with good acidity and well-integrated tannins, and a long, silken finish.

"This cool climate brings out the savory characteristics of the variety, as opposed to its jammy, fruity side, and one finds here aromas and flavors of smoked meats, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit, with an almost Pinot-like texture and balance on the palate; definitely not an overblown Shiraz style." - David Ramey
