The Hidden Terrace Vineyard is a well-kept secret sequestered on a steep south-facing slope at the edge of our Mountain Estate.
Scratched into a ravine and farmed entirely by hand due to the severe slopes, this small vineyard is composed of rare tuff (volcanic ash) soil that produces Syrah of intense concentration and varietal distinction. Extremely low yields limit production of this wine to just a handful of barrels each vintage.

Captivating aromatics of cracked white pepper, roasted coffee bean, ripe orange peel and floral notes. On the pallet, the notably feminine structure and weight of this vintage is reminiscent of the landmark 2007. Bright, high-toned flavors of pomegranate and rhubarb are complicated by a subtle, classic component of cured-meat. Delicate flavors and graceful acidity mark this aromatic, Rhone inspired Syrah, confirming that it is a highly versatile option for pairing with a wide variety of foods.
