$44.99

The Syrah is part of the original planting at Ibarra-Young Vineyard, planted in 1971. It is own-rooted, it’s been farmed organically since 1993, and it’s possibly Alice's favorite block. This Syrah block is located on a sandy loam slope in the most fertile section of the vineyard. These vines produce tight and dense clusters averaging the size of your palm. When they are ripe, the cluster’s dainty golden stems pop off with a small tug-you don’t even need sheers to harvest!
Soil
Sandy loam soils
Viticulture
Regenerative, organic grapes managed holistically
Vinification
The Syrah was harvested in three picks in order to gain depth, acidity, and layers of different tannin structures in the final wine. The first pick came in on September 4th, 2025, and the last pick came in on September 18th, 2025. All three picks were fermented 100% whole cluster ranging from 16 to 18 days on skins.
Aging
The Syrah rested in its separate lots in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months. About a month before bottling, the 6 best barrels between the three lots were blended together to make this estate Syrah. The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered in August 2026.
Production
146 cases
Notes
The friend you never want to go home. Caring, funny, inquisitive, genuine. Violets, ripe red fruits, lots of acid and grip, this wine will age and cellar exceptionally well.
