The Syrah from Page Nord Vineyard was harvested on 10/15/2003, cold soaked for 2 days before being fermented for 13 days with the maximum temperature of 88 degrees. The malolactic fermentation took place in the barrel. The wine was racked 4 times before being bottled in August of 2005. 

A warm summer and the severe crop thinning has resulted in intense and concentrated Syrah of depth and length.  It displays complex aromas of cassis, blackberry, blueberry and spice.  It is rich, chewy and dense with cassis, blackcurrant and vanilla flavors, followed by ripe, well-integrated tannins that lead to a long finish.  We believe patience will be well rewarded with this beast of a wine.
