| No variety is more fickle or demanding than Syrah, so the dedication of the grower is crucial. Lee Hudson devoted resources to this grape variety at a time when it seemed to offer little return, and he made a brilliant intuitive move in selecting the cool Carneros District as a site for what was widely thought of as a warm weather grape. Of equal importance, our Sage Canyon winery was designed to produce Syrah as it’s traditionally done in the Northern Rhône Valley of France. We whole-cluster ferment in custom designed, open-top tanks. We manually punch down the cap for a month or more, then age the wine for 14 months with little or no racking. It’s clarified by settling and bottled unfiltered. You won’t find a producer who goes to greater lengths to insure that Syrah is produced naturally and traditionally. |
