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. <ul style="padding-left: 15px"> </ul> Other products in the category <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Category13" title="All Wines">All Wines</a>: <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product148" title=" "569" 2007 Tolosa Chardonnay"> "569" 2007 Tolosa Chardonnay</a> -- Block select Chardonnay from our oldest vines on the estate.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product127" title="2006 Tolosa "1772" Chardonnay">2006 Tolosa "1772" Chardonnay</a> -- A sumptuous and voluptuous Chardonnay. 92 Points in Wine Enthusiast.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product119" title="2006 Tolosa "1772" Pinot Noir">2006 Tolosa "1772" Pinot Noir</a> -- Our Estate grown 2006 "1772" Pinot Noir is a barrel selected wine, to reach highest quality.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product130" title="2006 Tolosa Cabernet Sauvignon">2006 Tolosa Cabernet Sauvignon</a> -- Share our Cab from Paso Robles!</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product131" title="2006 Tolosa Pinot Noir ">2006 Tolosa Pinot Noir </a> -- Delicious Pinot Noir that just received 93 points in Cheers Magazine!</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product146" title="2006 Tolosa Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon">2006 Tolosa Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon</a> -- Limited production Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product132" title="2006 Tolosa Chardonnay">2006 Tolosa Chardonnay</a> -- Top 100 Wines of 2009 with 93 Points & Editor's Choice in Wine Enthusiast!</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product118" title="2007 Tolosa "No Oak" Chardonnay ">2007 Tolosa "No Oak" Chardonnay </a> -- A pure expression of Chardonnay! 90 points in Wine Enthusiast.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product129" title="2006 Tolosa Syrah">2006 Tolosa Syrah</a> -- Syrah’s characteristic perfume of black pepper is present in abundance, as well as blueberry, cedar, tobacco, and East Indian spices.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product128" title="Mission V Red Wine Blend">Mission V Red Wine Blend</a> -- Made by Wine Club Members in the 2008 Blending Seminar.</li></ul> <ul style="padding-left: 15px"><li> <a href="http://store.tolosawinery.com/Product134" title="2006 Tolosa Petite Sirah">2006 Tolosa Petite Sirah</a> -- New Release.
