Situated at 2,500 feet of elevation in decomposing sandstone, our terraced block at Alder Springs is planted to multiple clones of Syrah looking out over forested groves and streams near the northern terminus of the Mendocino County. The grapes were harvested on September 19th, 2021, then underwent a natural fermentation on whole clusters with a small percentage of Viognier for an aromatic lift. The wine was pressed to third use and neutral French oak for 18 months of barrel age. Our Syrah shows black plum, bittersweet chocolate, black olive, and violets.
