A real surprise this 50 cases, yes only 2 barrel, production! Really wowed me! If I would not have seen the label, I’d assumed to be drinking a classic Côte Rôtie. On the nose and palate, I encountered notes of bacon fat a hint of spice, nicely coated by whiffs of apricot and lychee, with a touch of bitter sweet chocolate and black currants. Very deep, dark color is a precursor of the full body and beautiful, velvet textured, lush wine that is so well-made finishing with a long, spicy black stone fruit finish.
The Las Madres Vineyard is a meticulously farmed Syrah vineyard situated in the Sonoma Carneros. The hillside site is aligned east – west, and nestled in a bowl. This allows for excellent ripening during the day, while benefiting from cool marine influenced temperatures at night. Day to night temperatures easily vary by 35º F. The cool climate allows us to leave the fruit on the vines longer without fear of over-ripening. The tiny yields are packed full of refreshing acidity and bright fruit, resulting in a true expression of its origin.

Winemakers Notes: “The 2015 Syrah was aged 21 months in 1/3rd new French oak and 2/3rd used French oak barrels. Aromas of crushed lavender and black and green olive, with hints of smoked meat and white pepper leap from the glass. Concentrated and lively flavors of roasted herbs, graphite, blue and black fruits, make this a luscious and full-bodied Syrah with a long lasting finish.”
