2011 Syrah, Sonoma Valley Estate
New Release! Wellington Vineyards is proud to release our eigth vintage of Estate Syrah. Beautiful dark color and dense aromas of cocoa, bacon and black fruits give way to a soft and rich mouthfeel. Recommended food pairings are beef bourguignon, mushroom risotto, and pheasant basted with roasted shallots and caramelized onion sauce. Our 2011 Estate Syrah has a very long finish, and should be a great wine to cellar for many years to come.
 
Our Estate Syrah is based on a one acre plot of clone 174, planted in the year 2000, combined with Syrah from ancient vines (1892-1924 plantings) and co-fermented with a bit of Viognier. It is fermented in small open top tanks with 2-4 daily punchdowns, pressed at dryness and aged in small french oak barrels (10-15% new).
 
Aromas: blueberry, olive, chocolate, apricot, floral (jasmine, honeysuckle)
 
Palate: Rich fruity entry, lots of pepper, slightly tart, medium plus astringency, long finish. Good by itself, better with food.

Vendor Details

Wellington Vineyards

Founded:
1986
Owner:
Peter Wellington
Location:
Glen Ellen, CA
Wellington Vineyards is owned Peter Wellington. Peter's father John purchased the winery site in 1986. At the time, it consisted of 20 acres of old vines and a few decrepit old fruit and nut trees. Replanting of part of the old vineyard and orchard started in 1988. The winery was completed in time for the 1989 crush. We grow approximately half the grapes we use and purchase the remainder, primarily from small, unique vineyards.
 
The estate vineyards consist of 21 acres, 8 of which are 85 to 117 years old. There are 24 different varieties in the old vineyard, with the most common being Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, Grenache and Syrah. In addition, there are 10 acres of eleven to sixteen year old vines that consist of Merlot, Chardonnay, Marsanne, and Syrah. We grow more Merlot than anything else. Three more acres were replanted in 2001, predominantly to Syrah, Zinfandel and Grenache.
