2022 Syrah 4-2,A 750ml, 14.4%

The "4-2,a" is a standard for Southern Oregon Syrah.  We source Syrah from several different sites in the Rogue and Applegate Valleys, prizing each lot for its own individual attributes, which work together to create layers and nuance in a delicious wine.  The name "4-2,a" was coined by elder daughter Margaux, as a suggestion to resolve the quagmire inherent when one's plan of making only single vineyard Syrah is upset by the fact that the better wine was made as a blend of the different sites.  Margaux, at 8 years old, was in the habit of making her own fruit juice blends, and called her favorite one the "fortooay" presumably a derivative of wine names she heard around the house, like Viogn-ier, Caber-net, or Chardo-nnay.
