2022 Estate Syrah

We are excited for the first release of our new Estate Syrah. It was grown in a new vineyard next to our winery on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm this vineyard to maximize quality. The 2022 growing season was challenging starting with a two week plus heat wave with temperatures above 110 F. That was followed by weeks of below normal temperatures giving the vines a chance to recover.

Lots of blueberry fruits and vanilla greet your nose in this medium bodied Syrah. Notes of acai berry, licorice and black pepper round out the aromas as the soft, yet lush tannins greet your mouth. This wine is great for picnics and BBQ’s.

Verde Estate Vineyard

This amazing vineyard was planted in 2015 and is located at the foothills of the southern Diablo Range, it produces grapes of incomparable depth and flavor. The grapes were hand-picked at the peak of flavor and crushed within hours of harvest to ensure the flavor was maintained.
