Full-bodied smoky overtones of plum. Grown with dry-farming methods on our certified organic, dry-farmed vineyard in Santa Barbara County and kept in American Oak barrels for 15-20 months.
This low rainfall year of under 10 inches produced a low yield, smaller grape with the intensity of Shiraz spiciness. Smooth and robust in finish it will linger long in your mouth and complements spicy, flavorful dishes.

This wine shows all of the best characteristics of a dry-farmed Shiraz: rich, deep, smoky fruit with a lingering spiciness of ripe plums. This was our first above average rainfall year (over 20 inches) after 6 years of drought. The vines responded with lush growth. This shiraz will go well with spicy, flavorful dishes.

An extreme drought year produced very limited, high quality grapes. Whole-berry fermentation produced a Shiraz that fills your mouth with flavors of blackberry jam and cacao nibs. This will develop beautifully over time. Only 11 cases produced.
