2007 Fichtenberg Vineyards Syrah

For this Syrah we source the fruit from two small blocks at the southwest corner of our ranch. Crop thinning and canopy management are utilized to control the vigor and maintain the fruit intensity in these select blocks. Prior to fermentation the grapes go through a cold-soak for 5 days to capture more color and the intense wild berry flavors from the Syrah.
