Our Destin Vineyard lies at the foot of the Vaca Mountains outlining the eastern edge of the Napa Valley. Each year we designate a few of its best rows for our limited production Estate Syrah, and the 2016 vintage captures the essence of our deliberate process. This dark-hued, multi-dimensional wine invokes aromas of exotic spices and white pepper followed by layer after layer of dark fruit. The flavors on the palate are a bountiful combination of delicious dark fruit with smoked meat, black pepper, and cedar. This wine, however, does not reveal all its secrets right away, rather it slowly unfolds in the glass rewarding patience and attention. The thoughtful unveiling of flavors and firm tannins allow it to age when cellared properly so whether poured now or in years to come, the 2016 vintage is certain to make a lasting impression.
