Winemaker’s Notes
Our Rachis Syrah is the fraternal twin to our Tall Tales Syrah. Both have their feet in the basalt, but never can two brothers be so different. The bigger, bolder, more fruit forward flavors of this wine show the breadth of character that Syrah can have. The terroir of the high elevation wind ravaged Syrah vines in the deep soils of the silt loam is evident in the abundance of fine grain tannin and bright acidity.
