Tasting Notes: The aromatics of this wine showcase its mountain terroir; graphite minerality and roasted earth components intertwine themselves with blackberry preserves and floral elements. A concentrated offering that will surely gain in complexity with age, reveals layers of fruit and spice with a firm tannic backbone.

Stagecoach Vineyard is an impressive mountain planting, stretching from the westernmost regions of Atlas Peak all the way to the east overlooking Oakville. Syrah is planted on the south and west facing slopes of the rocky, volcanic terrain. The combination of cool nights and warm days allows for superb complexity and optimal hang time to create wine with true varietal expression.

Wine Spectator: 91 Points

Firm, intense and full-bodied, offering tight spice, mineral and sage, with ripe blackberry, wild berry and black licorice fruit as this holds its focus, ending with chewy, leathery tannins and a loamy earth edge. Drink now through 2016. 252 cases made. –JL
