Syrah – California Napa Valley Red Wine

In the 15th century, the Kings and Queens in a deck of cards depicted famous royals. The Jacks were noted protectors of their respective realms. Ogier the Dane (Spades) served Charlemagne. La Hire (Hearts) served Charles VII of France. Hector (Diamonds) defended the city of Troy under his father, King Priam. And the peerless Lancelot (Clubs) was Camelot’s most noble knight. Today, these valets, as they were originally called, do battle on green felt, defending and seizing fortunes large and small. We pay tribute to these champions with our Soldiers of Fortune Syrah.

The wine begins with a smooth, round and viscous entry with intense fruit flavors. The middle pallet is supported by a high level of fine-medium grain tannins. The concentrated fruit flavors and tannins resonate together leading to a long finish.

Black Cherry, white pepper, vanilla bean, violets, slight hickory smoke.

Atlas Peak (hillside) and Oak Knoll (benchland) are moderately cool viticultural areas allowing slow and even ripening, which creates deeply colored wines with depth and complexity.
