Wine Profile

Tasting Notes Heady aromas of smoke, roasted coffee and grilled meats are intertwined with plum and blackberry and white pepper. A bright entry shows off more plums with leather, white pepper and spice coming into the play. This leads to a rich and full mouth feel displaying many of the above characters plus dried cherries clove, nutmeg and all spice. The finish is long and complex with glimpses of exotic flavors such as jasmine and dried rose petals.
Production Notes Early morning hand harvested then cold soaked for 60 hours (40% whole berries). Cool temperatures in open top tanks, submerged caps, pumped over twice daily. The juice was then aged for 14 months.
Winemaker Notes Ladi’s Vineyard Syrah is located in a small valley between four famous Sonoma County appellations. Chalk Hill to the north, Bennett Valley to the south, Sonoma Valley to the east and Russian River to the west; a region of cool mornings and warm afternoons that produces noble Syrah of the sophisticated Rhone style with an appealing perfumed fruit.
