Winemaker Notes

Deep, with black raspberry and wet earth on a core of Morello cherry and fresh hibiscus. Dark, purple fruited and taut, with touches of wild rose, candied fennel seed and clove. Fleshy, with refined tannins layered over vibrant acidity with hints of fresh nutmeg on the finish.

About Winery

The inception of Synthesis was in 1997, with the intention of making a flagship wine that was a defining representation for our love for the vintage. In its most essential form, it is a tribute to our dedication in the cellar, the pinnacle of the fruits of our labor. Acknowledging the quality of the fruit we have access to, and the breadth of terroir that shapes the wine, we set out to highlight each Synthesis vintage by blending our best barrels.

Designed to be a balance of integration, Synthesis is a culmination of contrasting elements. Inspired by the nuances and depth of its parts, we blend our top barrels each vintage to represent two iconic appellations. From the clonal diversity on our Estate Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, to the variance and complexity of fruit sourced from the mountains and valley floor in Napa, we feel each element integral in the evolution of the blend.  A harmonious balance, Synthesis, in essence, flaunts the finest characteristics from each of its diverse components.

"A juicy and layered pinot with strawberry pie, wet earth and mushroom. Orange peel, too. Shows tension with richness. Medium to full body. Medium velvety tannins. Drink now."
