The BULL

This wine is one of 3 Syrah’s we have released this year. It all comes from the same vineyard and was all picked on the same day. Furthermore, these vines are genetically identical. The vines are Clones of each other. Cuttings taken and replicated over and over. Genetically they are all one vine just planted in slightly different locations. These 3 wines are from 3 different hillsides.
The BULL is from the High Hill on Windmill Ranch and Vineyard.
This is my fathers’ favorite hill on the property. The soils are full of limestone and are comprised of adobe. This hillside produces such a litany of flavors and complexity that are seemingly intrinsic in our vineyard. Simply this hillside tastes like this hillside year in and year out. Full Bull Flavors. The Bull on the label is my baby, my own personal monster. Massive, Proud, and Beautiful. Thick Necked and Menacing.
Sadly he passed the year I bottled this wine.
I took his horns.
It seemed to be a tragedy to bury a King with His Crown.
In this Kings Honor.
I give you, THE BULL.

We take it upon ourselves in our family to follow our family creed :

We live in order to: Honor those that have come before us + to prepare the way for those yet to come.
