Syrah is a very adaptive cultivar, performing admirably in a myriad of climates and locales. But one area, with its long growing season and cool climate, that has proved particularly successful for the variety is Santa Lucia Highlands. Picked October 22nd at 23.9 Brix. Nineteen days on the skins. Forty percent whole cluster to add aromatic complexity and structure. Unfined and unfiltered.
