Black and blue fruits drive the aroma initially in this Sonoma Coast Syrah, with slight gamy characters, garrigue, blond tobacco and lilac aromas. Tasting the wine one finds ripe blueberry and black currant flavors, and tannins that express the wine's mountaintop sourcing. This dense and spicy Syrah was crafted in a style reminiscent of the great wines of the Northern Rhone Valley.
Our Outer Limits™ Vineyard Syrah comes from an estate vineyard site, located on a windswept ridge area near Annapolis. The vineyard, which also is the source of our Far Coast Chardonnay and Pinot Noir bottlings, is a very cool site surrounded by redwood forests, over an hour north of the Russian River. This Sonoma Coast mountain ridge is four miles from the Pacific Ocian at 900 feet elevation. The soils are the Goldridge series on top of older volcanic bedrock, which drives a balance between fruit, complexity, and structure.
