✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the cool, fog-kissed Bennett Valley AVA in Sonoma County, the Dry Stack Vineyard is legendary for its rocky, volcanic soils and the historic hand-laid stone walls that give the site its name. Russell Bevan harnesses this unique terroir to craft a Syrah of immense power and striking complexity. The vineyard's cool climate allows for an extended growing season, resulting in a wine that beautifully balances intense dark fruit flavors with savory elements of black pepper, smoked meats, and crushed stones. Bevan's meticulous winemaking coaxes out an opulent, velvety texture while preserving the vibrant acidity and structural integrity characteristic of this exceptional site.
