From that oldest known Syrah vineyard in California, these 100-year-old plus vines produce deep and heady wines. We've created a field blend of Syrah and Petite Syrah. This bottling is somewhat of a counterpoint to our usual lithe and verve filled Pinot Noirs.  Enjoy this one with a bone-in rib-eye and a wood burning fireplace.  It's deep, brambly dark fruit and warm spice notes are captivating.

+ Gibson Ranch is in the McDowell AVA just east of the town of Hopland.  It is a high sloping bench consisting of gravelly loam soils.

+ This vineyard of ancient vines still produces an exceedingly small but healthy crop of intense dark berries.  This wine was so flavorful but sat behind an almost impenetrable wall of tannins for the first two years.

+We aged this wine in 90% neutral barrels with a small amount of time spent in one new French oak barrel.
