Frenchies Ranch Syrah Vertical
Sunday, March 1, 3-5 pm
Downtown Santa Cruz Tasting Room & Tapas bar
Join us for an exceptional tasting event, celebrating our Estate Reserve Syrah: Frenchie’s Ranch Syrah. Frenchies Ranch Syrah is a special cuvée only made in excellent vintages with adequate yields to allow selection of barrels. We usually only select 2-4 of the best barrels and then age them longer up to 40 months prior to bottling. Additionally, we will typically have some new light long toast steam bent French oak barrels in the blend, up to 100%. The long aging time allows the oak to fully integrate and also concentrates the wine due to evaporative loss (probably up to 10% over 40 months). The following wines represent every vintage we have produced and released. Founder Bradley Brown and winemaker Blake Yarger tell the story of Frenchie and explain the unique history of this special wine.
And now finally, the 2018 vintage is ready for release! We will be pouring all 8 vintages that we have released.
