This is a Gold Medal Wine Club Platinum Series selection. The 2005 Lost Canyon Trenton Station Vineyard Syrah is produced from Saralee Kunde’s highly acclaimed hillside vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Lost Canyon Winery focuses on producing small lots of vineyard-designated wines, (especially Syrah) and since their first release in 2001, they have consistently received national praise. The 2005 Trenton Station earned92 Points from the Wine Enthusiast magazine and is characterized as “Showing a beautiful balance of all its parts. The fruit is forwardly ripe, showing cherries, blackberries and rich dark chocolate. But the tannins are firm and supportive, and there’s gorgeous acidity that makes the tastebuds sing. This is a really delicious young Syrah for the most upscale foods, and it’s at its best now.” This delectable Syrah also received a Gold Medal at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. This wine is one to be enjoyed on its own or accompanying fine meats and tomato based pasta and good friends. Aged 11 months oak.100% Syrah. Enjoy now or until 2015.

Winemaker's Notes:

Winemaker Tasting Notes: This vineyard is owned by Saralee Kunde. The vineyard is a hillside vineyard of 46 acres with the majority planted to Syrah. Like most vineyards in the Russian River the combination of fog, gentle breezes, and warm afternoons allow the grapes to slowly ripen until the flavors are intense and ready to be picked. This wine is very dark purple. It has a great burst of blackberry fruit mixed with leather and meat. It has a luscious mouth feel and lasting finish. The wine is one that can be savored all evening by itself or with fine meats and pasta. We produced less than 210 cases of this wine.
