Winery notes: Our last offering is the 2007 Bevan Cellars Dry Stack Vineyard Syrah. It is a combination of black cherry, roasted meats and white pepper. With decanting it picks up hints of mocha and evolves for hours. The most striking thing about this wine is its richness and how fruit driven it is at an amazingly low alcohol level, 13.3%. We did a 38% saignée (or bleed) for this wine to get the desired level of concentration. The result was a magnification of the fruits natural flavors and acidity. Again we pushed things at the winery, pressing the must to the barrel while the wine was still very sweet. We did this to avoid over extraction from the huge tannin load because we had such a high ratio of skins and seeds to juice. This wine shows amazing balance and will age for a very long time. |
