2007 Santa Barbara, White Hawk Vineyard, Syrah

This 2007 wine is our newest release. The fruit arrived from harvest in excellent condition and started showing signs of its potential soon after fermentation. We processed these grapes with a combination of stemmed whole clusters (25%) and whole berries (50%). Grown from the same White Hawk vineyard of previous vintages, this vineyard's raw potential continues to impress. The 2007 Syrah displays full well rounded fruit, balanced tannins and a long, smooth finish.

Our 2007 Syrah is one of the best years yet from this signature vineyard in Santa Barbara. This young wine is already displaying its' great potential. The nose displays soft berry fruit with a slight spice. The dark body is exceptionally smooth for a 2007 with a great balance of dark berries, medium tannins, pepper, olive and hint of oak. This vintage can be enjoyed now, but will also age quite well.
