Winemaker Notes: Tucked into the rolling hills of the Sebastopol Hills AVA on the Sonoma Coast, our Baker Lane Syrah vineyard provides for a vibrant and focused expression of California Syrah. The cool, maritime-influenced air slows ripening, allowing for more flavor, freshness and energy while maintaining lower alcohol. The vineyard is planted on Goldridge sandy loam soil to a wide array of clonal choices, and is co-planted with Viognier. This is a vineyard of great distinction.
