Vineyard Notes: Syrah grapes come from the Sumu Kaw vineyard in the Sierra Foothills and the Carignan comes from the Testa Vineyard in Mendocino.
Winemaking Notes: The Syrah was 75% whole cluster and the rest of the grapes were destemmed into an open top fermenter. The rose of Carignan was direct pressed on top of the Syrah, where the grapes co-fermented flotasion style for two weeks with gentle hand punch downs. The 'Resist' was then pressed into neutral French oak barrels where it aged for 10 months, during which it was racked once.
