About This Wine


Winter Fox

Syrah

Resembling the way the bright coat of the American red fox stands out against the duller shades of its wintry forest home, our Syrah displays bright red fruit flavors that contrast savory notes of cedar and maple. This wine is food-friendly and exciting, with prominent tannins and mouthwatering acidity. After spending the winter months in dormancy, Syrah vines in California begin to wake in the latter half of March. From then on, the warm California sun supports the development of these vines throughout the state's long, dry growing season. With consistent access to sunlight and nutrients and the influence of the Pacific Ocean, this fruit ripens to peak levels of flavor while maintaining Syrah's naturally high levels of acidity. This wine is a delicious encounter of captivating textures and delightful flavor. Get in touch with your wild side and pair a glass with a wide variety of meals ranging from carnivorous to vegetarian. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
