Named for the mountains surrounding our vineyard, our Siskiyou Syrah is an elegant, refined expression of this variety grown in our unique Kubli Bench terroir. Cool, short days at harvest allow us to hang these grapes for an extended period without increasing sugar levels. This allows us to craft a richly flavored wine but moderate in alcohol and high in acidity. Our goal for this wine is to reveal all the nuances of this exceptionally complex variety hidden in riper versions.
Nate Wall’s Winemaker Notes
Grapes for the 2022 Siskiyou Syrah were harvested on October 14, 2022. Approximately 30% whole cluster fruit was included to accentuate the spicy and dried herbal character and broaden the mid-palate. The wine was handled gently during fermentation with just one punch-down or foot-treading per day and was pressed off after twenty-six days on skins to age in neutral French oak barrels.
We loved how this wine was evolving in the cellar. It was just incredibly balanced and integrated right from the get-go. So, unusually for a Troon Syrah, this wine was bottled after just seven months of aging to capture the freshness of fruit and the nuanced aromatics in their entirety.
