Our 2023 Syrah is made for us by Brianne Day, the owner and winemaker of Day Wines. Brianne uses the classic French style of Cote-Rotie in which Syrah is co-fermented with a small amount of Viognier (we use 10% Viognier from our vineyard). Co-fermentation with Viognier enhances the aroma, deepens the color and softens the tannins. We use 25% whole cluster and spontaneous (natural) fermentation to make our Syrah which offers dark blueberry and blackberry notes alongside supple, earthy tannins and a savory complex finish with hints of black and white pepper, olive tapenade, fennel and summer herbs—delicious!
