Syrah Grand Firepeak Cuvée

$28.00 per bottle

"Wow, what a wine! Cool climate Syrah is a whole different monster from the norm. There is not a lot of it in the ground and when grown right, it makes a wine that I believe will define Syrah in California. Lavender and blueberry jump out of the glass and are complimented by hints of white pepper on the palate."
Winemaker, Christian Roguenant

Syrah grapes from our Firepeak Vineyard provide our winemaker, Christian Roguenant, carte blanche when it comes to making highest quality, cool climate Syrah. Located in the Edna Valley at the foot of Islay Mountain, the last in a chain of extinct volcanoes known as the Seven Sisters, the dark vineyard soils are known as the "dirt of the devil." We have three clones planted here, and Christian blends them each vintage as he sees fit. The consistent result is a velvety, well structured wine, reminiscent of a true Syrah from the Northern Rhone region in France.
