✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Hudson Vineyard in the cool, clay-dominant soils of Carneros, the North T-Block Syrah is a masterclass in cool-climate California Syrah. Planted to the famed Chave clone, this block yields fruit of extraordinary depth and savory complexity. Winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW handles this fruit with a nod to the Northern Rhône, frequently employing whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak barrels with a low percentage of new wood to preserve the vineyard's distinctive voice. The result is a wine that balances California's natural intensity with Old World structure, marked by notes of smoked meats, cracked black pepper, tapenade, and dark forest fruits.
