2021 Rockpile Syrah

The vision Rod and Cathy Park had when they originally planted their vineyards and helped establish the Rockpile Appellation to distinguish the grapes grown there is shared by current owners Ken and Diane Wilson. The Syrah vineyard was planted in 1998 to the late-ripening Estrella clone, which originated from cuttings brought over in the mid-1970s from the Chapoutier family's Hermitage vineyard in France’s Rhône Valley. The high-altitude, unique climate and shallow soil have proven to be the perfect mix of ingredients for ideal Syrah growing conditions.
