2020 Syrah Steelhead Run Vineyard, 750ml, 14.0%

Steelhead Run is the coolest, most moderate vineyard in our portfolio.   This is largely due to the tempering influence of the brisk Applegate River that adjoins it.  The wines from Steelhead are subtle and refined, capable of extended aging.  

We make our single vineyard Syrahs by fermenting whole berries in one ton insulated bins, then pressing off near dryness.  They age in a combination of small, new French oak, and larger, more neutral French Oak barrels, racking just once in 18 months.
