2009 Syrah Clone 383 Arizona Stronghold Vineyards
In 2007, I took cuttings from our Page Springs Estate Vineyard and grafted them on to Sauvignon Blanc vines at Arizona Stronghold. For two years in a row, (2008 and 2009) these grafted vines have produced rich and distinct wines. Clone 383 is known for its smaller berries and lower overall cropping than other selections. What I find most interesting is how different this Syrah is from our Estate Syrah and Syrah blends from years past. Richer and brawnier, this wine contrasts starkly with the elegant Syrahs produced at the Estate. Definitely a wine for those who like them big.
