Block 520 on our Airport Ranch is the Estrella selection which has historically made fine wine in this area. Block 577 on Edna Ranch West is planted to clone 99, a more recent introduction. This vintage was the latest harvest we have ever experienced here. Only a few of our best areas of Syrah got fully ripe. Luckily the fall stayed dry and we harvested the fruit in excellent condition. WinemakingInformation: Our main winemaking task after the more crucial vineyard work was how to soften and smooth this vintage. Fermentations were a bit shorter than normal, pressings a bit earlier as well. In the barrel this wine was always quite recalcitrant and stayed young and unformed for longer than usual. We modified our technique a bit, racking the wine earlier and more frequently to help it develop. Analytical Information Colonal Selection: Estrella, Clone 99 Brix at Harvest: 24.6°-25.6° T.A.: 6.68 g/L pH: 3.60 Alcohol: 14.6% Cooperage Used: French 30% new Barrel Regime: 16 months Barrel/Tank Aging: 100% barrel Bottling Date: 3/10/08 Aging Potential: 7-9 years Winemaker Tasting Notes I love this wine – something I don’t state lightly! Like most winemakers I am obsessed with aromatics and this wine has them in abundance. There is an intriguing mélange of spice, floral and fruit that defies description. This vintage is also opening up and softening in the bottle far earlier than I would have guessed. It makes pleasurable drinking even now only a year after bottling.
