96% Syrah, 4% Petite Sirah
The small vineyard source for the Goosecross Cellars Syrah is located just north of the city of Napa and provides ideal warm days, cool nights and rocky soil conditions – where the terroir resembles growing conditions of the Rhone Valley.
Syrah is gaining in popularity and has grown from a little under 400 acres planted in California in the early 1990’s to over 20,000 acres today. As it is one of the more vigorous vines, Syrah requires extra attention in the vineyard with farmers being aggressive in thinning the crop, to reduce crop volume but increase fruit quality.
This wine was aged 14 months in French oak, 40% new.
