One of the most exciting tasks each year is tasting through all of the reserve red wine barrels and creating Upslope, the best Syrah from the vintage. We look for intensity, concentration, balance, complexity, aging potential and that mysterious "wow" factor. The warm, even growing season in 2014 gave us many options to choose from, and we couldn't be happier with the final blend. Still aging in barrel, we look forward to bottling and sharing this wine soon.
