The 2019 Syrah – Colson Canyon Vineyard is a grippy, rich Syrah which will stand up well with some cellar aging. This wine gushes with fruit and spice on the nose – cherry Dr. Pepper, black cherry, black plum and blueberry syrup. Hints of smoked paprika on the palate add interest and the tannins are reminiscent of well-steeped green tea. This giving, luscious Syrah is fruit-driven and a great pairing for smoked or braised meats, game or hearty stews. Drink now or lay down this full-bodied, expressive Syrah. -Matt Brady, Winemaker

This classic, cool climate Syrah bursts with black pepper, menthol, spice, cured meat, green olive and black currant aromatics. These elements are mirrored on the palate, with great balance, full mid-palate, vibrant red and black berries and integrated tannin, fruit and acid. -Lily Hays, Director of Hospitality and Education

Clean, pure dark berry aromatics, mouth-coating texture on palate helps round out the bright acidity and red fruit/pomegranate punch on the finish. This lush and complex wine has great depth and an extra-long, lingering finish. -Matt Brady, Winemaker

Easy drinking and very fruit driven, lucious aromatics of sweet strawberries, red cherry cordial, tarter fruit on the palate, lighter in body with salinity, fine-grained tannin and texture. Yummy! -Matt Brady, Winemaker

Our Reserve Syrah bottling from 2018 is a 2 barrel selection crafted for a powerful, complex wine that is more representative of the style than vineyard. This wine is meant to age, and held in barrel and bottle longer before release than any other Syrah we make. It's the best two barrels of the 2018 vintage, carefully chosen by our winemaker, Matt Brady. This wine jumps out of the glass with bold aromatics of bay leaf, peppermill, cassis and eucalyptus. These notes resonate on the palate with structure and texture that begs to be paired with a steak or cut of wild game. -Lily Hays, Director of Hospitality and Education

Pure lifted, red fruit aromatics, cherry-vanilla Dr. Pepper, with a dense mid-palate, well integrated, grippy tannins and persistant fruit flavors from start to finish. -Matt Brady, Winemaker

Dark berries, dark chocolate or coco powder aromatics with cinnamon & nutmeg notes.  This Syrah is powerful and complex, saturating on palate. Its bright finish keeps the wine ‘light on its feet.’  Not heavy or over-extracted, but with dense flavors and aromatics.  Supple texture and gentle tannins give this wine length and a long, lengthy finish. -Matt Brady, Winemaker

Holiday spices with ripe stone fruit, aromatics of apricot, white peach, and nectarine with a smooth mouth coating texture. This wine has weight without being viscous or heavy; making it a balanced and versitile pairing with your favorite dessert courses. -Matt Brady, Winemaker
