Syrah grapes from our Firepeak Vineyard provide our winemaker, Christian Roguenant, carte blanche when it comes to making highest quality, cool climate Syrah. Located in the Edna Valley at the foot of Islay Mountain, the last in a chain of extinct volcanoes known as the Seven Sisters, the dark vineyard soils are known as the "dirt of the devil." We have three clones planted here, and Christian blends them each vintage as he sees fit. The consistent result is a velvety, well structured wine, reminiscent of a true Syrah from the Northern Rhone region in France.
