About This Wine

The 2007 growing season was most noted for its considerable heat spells in early summer, resulting in slower production by the vines. A cooling off in late July and early August to near perfect conditions lead to expected yields of superior quality, especially in the red varietals, which had ideal "hang time" fairly consistent climate during the final six to eight weeks on the vine. Overall, quality was very good, which will yield wines which are complex and well-structured.

Wine Profile

Vintage:	2007
Wine Type:	Red Wine
Varietal:	Syrah
Appellation:	Temecula Valley
Tasting Notes:	Carefully selected from four vineyard sites, our 2006 Syrah explodes with delicious layers of blackberry, black cherry and plum complemented by nuances of black pepper and tobacco. Complex and well-balanced, this wine was aged in small French oak barrels for 19 months before blending with a small amount of Grenache and Cinsaut for added depth and structure.

Winemaker Notes:	Our 2006 Syrah was gently destemmed and transferred to small stainless steel tanks for fermentation, during which the wine was "pumped over" twice daily and allowed to macerate on the skins for total of 11 days for full tannin integration, complexity, and structure. The "free-run" wine was then moved by gravity to 60 gallon French oak barrels for a period of 19 months, allowing the wine to soften while integrating the rich fruit aromas and flavors with the subtle nuances imparted by the wood.
Food Pairing:	The rich fruit and spice components of our 2006 Syrah make this wine the perfect acacompaniment to a wide variety of foods, including red meat dishes, hearty cheeses, and Italian dishes with tomato sauce.
