Unti 2005 Benchland Syrah
Quick Overview
The winemaking, combining with a long moderately cool growing season, resulted in a dark, full-bodied Syrah that really shows the blackberry/smoked meat personality.
Product Description
The grapes for this 100% Syrah come from individually selected vines located on the original 6-acre benchland vineyard. Over the years these vines have shown less vigor (less foliage and fewer grapes) than the balance of vines in the block. In 2005, these grapes were fermented in several small tanks including their new one-ton wooden vats. It was aged in French oak barrels, 40% new. Unfined and unfiltered.

Philosophy "Dry Creek Valley's climate is ideal for growing classic Mediterranean red grape varieties. When farmed for quality, these varieties show our favorite attributes in wines from this appellation: expressive fruit, ripe tannins and balanced acidity. We employ modern techniques such as long pre-fermentation maceration, using open top tanks, a basket press, and aging our wines in only French oak barrels and foudre to highlight the aromatics and flavors derived from the vineyards. Dry Creek wines inspired by European counterparts." |
