WINE NOTES

Returning to production in 2009, the 2007 & 2008 Syrah vintages from Caligiore were decimated during harsh hailstorms. 100% Organically grown at over 3000 ft. above sea level in Mendoza, Argentina on the Caligiore Vineyards. Located high within the Andes Mountans these old vines are located just at the entrance to the famous Valle De Uco. Round and rich, this Syrah has an extended maceration period to ensure firm, yet soft tannins emerge directly from the fruit.
