Our Love Affair with Syrah
Our journey with Syrah began in 2003 when Kimberly and I visited the Hunter and Barossa Valleys in Australia. Despite narrowly missing the Shiraz Festival, we fell in love with the bold, rich flavors of Syrah, also known as Shiraz in Australia. This passion has fueled our dedication to crafting exceptional Syrahs that embody the essence of Southern Oregon's unique terroir.
