From Hudson Vineyard has impressed us with its suave richness since it went to barrel after the fermentation. Antonio Galloni described it as "a huge wine with tons of depth to the fruit in a dark, brooding style. Game, ash, licorice and a host of other varietal aromas and flavors emerge from this extroverted, impeccable wine." Young Syrah vines can be exuberant and unruly, and of all the wines we make, vine age in Syrah is most critical. This 2.3 acre vineyard growing in volcanic soil rare in the Napa Carneros is over 25 years old now and has achieved the much-coveted old-vine status which provides the wine exceptional grace and power. We believe that the cool wind off the San Francisco Bay and the unusual mineral content of the soil combine to make this Syrah unique in the new world. 175 cases produced.   750 mL
