2009 Field Of Dreams Syrah

This wine came about when I had the siphon-slinkie incident: I was siphoning the Wine Tree Farm Syrah free run off the gross lees, and got distracted by my contractor. Unbeknownst to me, as I was talking about flooring; The siphon hose fell out of the (now empty) top vessel, landing on the floor below the bottom vessel; draining my entire harvest onto my garage floor! bawling.gif

So I called another grower to buy yet another batch of Syrah (this time from Brentwood instead of Amador) Luckily this didn’t happen a couple of weeks later or my GSM would be a GM.

Most of these went into the 2009 Red Roan, but 8 bottles were held back and bottled as a varietal.
