This delightful blend is achieved through the co-fermentation of 90% Syrah and 10% Malbec in a one-ton bin fermenter using wild yeast. Over the course of seven days, I meticulously punched down the grape skins into the juice by hand, after which the wine was gently pressed off the skins and aged for a period of ten months in neutral French oak barrels. The resulting synergy between Syrah and Malbec is truly remarkable: the Syrah contributes a captivating spice profile, while the Malbec infuses the blend with a burst of vibrant fruit flavors.
The 2023 vintage stands out as a pinnacle of quality on the North Fork. This wine, with its radiant color and dynamic flavor profile, beautifully complements the shifting seasons. Whether served chilled or at room temperature, it promises an exceptional sensory experience.
