Syrah growing in Russian River Valley? Say what? Pour yourself a glass and find out why we love this Syrah.
About the wine
Cherry Ridge juts out over the west side of Green Valley of Russian River Valley, on a south-facing hillside just north the Petaluma Wind Gap. It is both wonderfully scenic, and a great place to grow grapes. The proverbial "warm spot in a cold area" (because of its altitude and south face), Cherry Ridge is just temperate enough to ripen Syrah in a region best known for the cold-loving Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
Tasting notes
The 2016 Cherry Ridge Vineyard Syrah exhibits a deep color with aromas of blackberries, cherry pie, pepper, tobacco, and bacon, complemented by nuances of vanilla and smoke. On the palate, it is full-bodied with balanced acidity and sturdy yet refined tannins, offering flavours of blackberries, berry, and crispy bacon, leading to a long, lingering finish.
About the winemaker
Dutton Goldfield was born in 1998 out of a friendship between Steve Dutton, a 5th generation farmer who has worked on vineyards since the age of 5, and Dan Goldfield, a seasoned winemaker who has worked at Robert Mondavi and La Crema. Both loved the cool climate vineyards of Sonoma's Russian River Valley and so decided to join forces.
