Just four barrels were produced of this Donnachadh Vineyard Syrah from Alban and Estrella clones, aged 10 months in French oak. The nose is deeply enticing—rich with spicy charcuterie, violets, and black cherry fruit. On the medium-bodied palate, firm, mineral-laced tannins and zesty saline acidity deliver mouthwatering tension. Layers of blackberry coulis, cherry pit, vanilla, and ironstone minerality unfurl across a long, tightly coiled finish. Still youthful and structured, this wine promises a decade or more of compelling evolution.

Sourced from the Our Lady of Guadalupe Vineyard—owned by Dave Phinney of Orin Swift fame—this single-vineyard Pinot Noir from Paradise Springs delivers a bold, assertive expression of the site. Bright and tart red fruit leads the way, but it’s the structure that steals the show: robust, powerful tannins grip the palate with authority, finishing bone dry and streaked with piercing, acid-driven brightness.
