2007 Syrah 2007 Syrah     Place Order >>
Shadowbrook’s 2007 Syrah is the second production from our syrah grapes located next to the bocce court on the winery property. These vines, although young, produce beautiful oval shaped bunches of grapes that are hard to keep from eating before harvesting for wine. This vintage was able to hang on the vines until early September enabling the grapes to fully mature. As a result we were able to extract some dense color and complex flavors that will prove Walnut Creek soil has what it takes to produce world class wine. You won’t believe this Syrah is produced in the foothills of Mount Diablo. Enjoy this wine while you can; we only produced 53 cases, so it won’t last long…..
Shadowbrook Winery Award WinnerTasting Notes: Shadowbrook’s 2007 Syrah is inky purple and velvety smooth with a complexity beyond it age. This fruit forward syrah has old world classic varietal characteristics of black fruit, white pepper and an earthy quality on the nose. The full bodied palate boasts raspberry and violet which mingle with savory lavender spice. The finish has just enough acidity and soft tannins to make the cardamom and spiced creamed vanilla last well until you’re ready for your next sip.
Winemaker Comments: Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks and the wine is aged in new 100% French Oak barrels for 16 months.

Petite Sirah is a varietal that takes on the flavor of the site it is grown “site specific”. The terroir of the Mt. Diablo foothills expresses itself with a dark, inky, rich, thick and intense fruit profile. Big ripe blackberry aromas, giving way to a luscious mid palate that is fully concentrated. Raspberry, black plum, coffee, dark chocolate and juicy berry flavors coat your tongue. Leather and spice are integrated with a smooth finish of mouth coating tannins and a touch of licorice. Aged in 100% French oak for 18 months for full tannin integration, this is a Big wine…This Petite Sirah certainly has Mt Diablo’s signature all over it! Enjoy….. .
Shadowbrook Winery Award WinnerWinemaker’s Comments: All of the fruit was hand-harvested at the fruit’s optimum phenolic ripeness. This fruit actually stained our sorting table as it was being de-stemmed. The Petite Sirah was manually “punched down” during fermentation to ensure that we macerated the skins fully to extract flavor and color. This is a great Petite Sirah; we think this Petite Sirah will be a stalwart for our winery of some time.
