Cuvaison’s Carneros Syrah comes from our own estate in the southern part of Napa Valley. This cool climate vineyard allows near perfect conditions year after year to produce world class Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah. Controlling all farming aspects within our own vineyard gives Cuvaison an advantage in producing the best quality fruit therefore minimizing over manipulation at the winery. Winemaker Steven Rogstad sums it up best, “My style and philosophy are based on expressing the unique character of our estate grapes and doing as little as possible to them. When one has such wonderful fruit to work with, that should be one’s emphasis.”

Winemaker Notes
Aroma: Strawberry, blackberry and truffle nose with black plum, pepper and licorice.
Palate: Firm structured, full bodied Syrah with dense tannins and bright fruit tones.
Overall Impression: Chock full of jammy, spicy fruit with a hint of earth and boysenberry. A balanced effort with a long, silky finish.
