SHIPPING NOTICE
Syrah is a chameleon of a grape and can express very different aromas from earthy and savory to ripe berry flavors depending on where it is grown. The Willow Creek District can create conditions that express this spectrum of flavors, and we like to capture these aromas in an approachable, satisfying cuvee.

Highlights
  • Varietal percentages: 70% Syrah, 15% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre
  • Vineyard(s): Estate Syrah blended with Grenache and Mourvèdre from the Templeton Gap District
  • Vineyard Notes: Westside Paso Robles' Willow Creek District boasts deep, clay soils and heavy sedimentary rock like limestone, calcareous, and shale. Cool coastal breezes and ample sunshine create a unique terroir that produces expressive, ripe wines with structured tannins and bright acidity.
  • Farming: Vineyards are hand worked and grapes are hand harvested. These vineyards practice deficit irrigation and dry farming, with minimal chemical inputs.
