Cordon Syrah

The Happy Canyon AVA is in the east end of the Santa Ynez Valley and is defined by unique microclimates and soils, warmer temperatures and a mineral terroir, an ideal location for farming Sauvignon Blanc. Given little rain and mild, if not warm, temperatures throughout the growing season, we harvested the 2017 vintage early. Yields were small, but the grapes were impressive. Sancerre-inspired and old world in style, this handcrafted wine was slowly cold-fermented in stainless steel and made dry to achieve an expressive, crisp and elegant Sauvignon Blanc. It simply tastes like summer.
