2023 Single Acre Syrah
NOTES FROM THE WINEMAKER
The 2023 Single Acre Syrah opens with bright aromas of violet and blackberry, layered with subtle savory and earthy tones. On the palate, this wine delivers a juicy, succulent profile supported by plush, round tannins. Layers of ripe plum and cassis unfold alongside hints of leather and a burst of justpicked blackberries. A gentle touch of oak lends structure and lift, guiding the wine to a long, satisfying finish.

Vintage Overview
The 2023 vintage will be remembered as a year of abundance with harmonious grapevine development for all growing regions in the Northwest. As winter transitioned into spring, temperatures remained relatively cool, delaying bud break into late May. The weather pattern then shifted to moderately warm and dry, creating excellent conditions for an accelerated bloom that led to perfect pollination and abundant fruit set. Our vineyards ripened in the final two to three weeks of September, creating a condensed window for optimum harvest, a challenge our vineyard and winemaking teams are fully equipped to handle. Thanks to the remarkable summer and fall weather, yields were greater than average and exceeded our own estimates. The wines crafted from the 2023 vintage display excellent quality demonstrated by generous flavors and complex textures.
