The vines for Aldrich Browne ‘Mariah Vineyard’ Syrah are perched precariously at 2,600 feet above sea level, leaving the resulting wine with a very complex and intense meaty, leathery tone and soft supple fruit, reminiscent of a fine Northern Rhone wine.

93 Points Pinot Report:  Medium-deep ruby color; rich, deep, spicy cherry aromas with a touch of forest floor; ripe, bright cherry and spice flavors; very silky with just a touch of oak; good structure and balance; long finish.  Bright, rich and silky Pinot that's a pleasure to drink.  Sit it next to a roasted chicken and good things will happen. Pinot Report

The Bodega Rancho Que Syrah Vineyard is a fine example of a 100% Syrah wine from Sonoma Coast. The vineyard is situated in the south western corner of this diverse AVA, where the evening fog lingers to keep the vineyards cool until the early morning and often through to mid-day. This wine offers good brambly black fruit and rich texture yet retains subtle spice and an underlying gamey quality.
