Description:
Wellington Vineyards has been making Syrah since 1993, but this is our first Reserve bottling. We think this is the finest Syrah we have ever made. The weather was ideal during the final ripening phase for most of our vineyards in 2001. After a hot spring and summer pushed grapes to the brink of maturity very early, an unusually cool September extended the final ripening by two to four weeks. This long “hang time” resulted in great color, rich, soft tannins and fantastic intensity of flavor. We arrived at the final blend for this special wine through a series of meticulous tastings and trial blends. Inclusion of a bit of Cabernet sauvignon was the final touch, firming up the structure, adding focus, and actually intensifying the Syrah character. 262 cases produced.
