This Syrah was sourced from mature vines at our estate vineyard in front of Thornton Winery as well as Wolf Vineyard here in Temecula. Found as the only red grape in France’s Northern Rhône Valley and as a blending grape throughout Southern France, it has traveled to many New World regions, including California and our very own Temecula Valley. It is a versatile wine which drinks well young to enjoy its lush fruit, as well as benefitting from a couple years of age when additional characters emerge.

Aroma: Dark cherries, red and black plums, a touch of rosemary and subtle oak spices. A cocoa note enters at the end.
Palate: Lush, complex red fruits on the entry; acidity and tannins are seamless and silky; spice builds slowly in the back of the palate, with a light, fruity finish.
Pairing: This lighter expression of Syrah will match a large variety of white and red meats, pasta dishes with cream or tomato-based sauces, and a variety of cheeses.
