2008 Annadel Estate Vineyard Syrah
Price per Unit (piece): $ 169.00
Location: Sonoma Valley Appellation. This lovely vineyard sits on 37.4 acres at the northwest end of the Sonoma Valley appellation, fronting on the Sonoma Highway.
There is no flat land, and elevation ranges from 410-530 feet. The vineyard was established in 1998. All of the soils are characterized by alluvial gravel and cobble. Although it is officially in the Sonoma Valley appellation, the site drains northwest toward Santa Rosa Creek rather than south-southeast toward Sonoma Creek. Therefore, the climate at the site has more in common with that of the Russian River Valley and Santa Rosa Plain than it does with the San Pablo Bay and much hotter Kenwood areas. 4 gallons per pail, 3 pails recommended per fermentation, produces approximately 40 bottles per 3 pail fermentation or $12.70 a bottle.
