Aromas of blackberry, ripe plum, and pepper greet the nose. Barrel aging in French and American oak contributes notes of vanilla and spice. The mouthfeel is jammy and full-bodied.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

The highly versatile Syrah grape is grown in many climates, but the coastal microclimate of the Loma Vista Vineyard is ideal for the development of intense flavors and aromas, such as ripe plum and wild berry.  Our family’s dedication to quality continues in the cellar, where winemakers Anthony Riboli and Arnaud Debons employ traditional techniques to preserve the individual flavors or terroir of each parcel of land.  All vineyard lots are fermented separately in small, open-top tanks in which the cap is “punched down” in order to delicately extract color without creating excessive tannins.  After fermentation, the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for 16 months.  Our Syrah reveals deep color, soft tannins, and a lengthy finish with vanilla, oak spice, and cinnamon nuances from barrel aging.

The Pretty Penny Vineyard is located in the prestigious Paso Robles appellation of California’s Central Coast. This vineyard’s unique terroir is defined by steep hillsides with calcareous soils. The Templeton Gap is an opening in the coastal range west of Paso Robles. Cool breezes from the Pacific Ocean pass though the Templeton Gap and reach the vineyard every evening. These breezes preserve the natural acidity of the grapes.
