Our Small Lot Collection Syrah grapes come from a single vineyard in Conn Valley - a small valley just to east off the main Napa corridor. This hillside vineyard is angled so that it only gets morning sun which allows the grapes to ripen at a moderate pace avoiding any excess sugar build up and allowing true phenolic ripeness. This vineyard has soils that are made up of mostly clay and rock, which is excellent for Syrah because it likes to grow large leaves and berries. This Syrah is blended with a small amount of Malbec to provide added richness and mid-palate density resulting in a perfectly structure wine.
