Originally planted to cherries in 1910 by the Pedroia family, this cool–climate Syrah vineyard sits atop a majestic ridge peering into the Freestone Valley. A glorious Indian summer in 2008 allowed for extensive hang time while delaying sugar accumulation.

Black core with dark violet and magenta purple edges. Dense blueberry molten dark chocolate, leather, hazelnut, framboise, rose petal, cracked white pepper, roasted coffee, and flinty aromas. Perfumed bouquet that develops and evolves with time and air in the glass. Rich, vibrant entry showing weight, an expansive mid-palette with waves of fruit and spice leading into the long, lingering finish. Tannins balance the fruit core. Graceful aging for 10+ years.

“A blockbuster for both complexity and intensity, the opaque purple-colored 2008 Syrah Cherry Camp comes from a vineyard that was originally a cherry orchard. It exhibits an incredibly floral-scented nose along with beautiful kirsch, blackberry, black currant, camphor, forest floor and licorice characteristics, supple tannins, an exuberant, opulent mouthfeel and a full-bodied finish. This beauty comes from a cool vineyard sitting on top of a ridge overlooking the Sonoma Coast's Freestone Valley. Drink it over the next decade. ” — Robert Parker

STEVEN TANZER'S INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR, May/June 2010

“Glass-staining purple. Vibrant aromas of raspberry, smoky minerals, potpourri and cola. Impressively dense and silky, with a surprisingly lacy texture to its red and blue fruit, floral and spice flavors. Saturates the entire palate without leaving an impression of weight. The spicy finish leaves behind resonating notes of mace, smoky minerals and floral pastilles, with just a hint of dusty tannins. This vineyard does especially well in years with a classic Indian summer, like '08, says Sussman. ”— Josh Raynolds

THE WINE ADVOCATE #187, February 2010
(93-95) points
“From a remarkable Sonoma Coast site, the 2008 Syrah Cherry Camp (no stems used) possesses pure, rich, blackberry, and blueberry liqueur, espresso, chocolate, roasted meat, tar, and pepper notes. Dense, full-bodied, and opulent, this show-stopper should drink well for a decade. ” — Robert Parker
