✨ Technical Specifications
Perched at a breathtaking 2,100 feet elevation near the crest of Mt. Veeder in Napa Valley, Sky Vineyard is a legendary site defined by its rugged, volcanic soils and extreme high-altitude conditions. Planted by proprietor Lore Olds, this dry-farmed vineyard sits high above the fog line, basking in intense mountain sunlight while cooled by breezes from the San Pablo Bay. Bedrock Wine Co. crafts this exceptional Syrah to capture the wild, untamed spirit of this unique terroir. The wine is typically fermented with a high proportion of whole clusters to emphasize its savory, herbal complexity and structured tannins, then aged in mostly neutral French oak. The result is a deeply concentrated, savory Syrah marked by notes of cracked black pepper, dark mountain berries, iron-like minerality, and a distinctive alpine freshness that reflects its dramatic origin.
