About Baker Lane Vineyards
Nestled in a valley west of Sebastopol, California, Baker Lane Vineyards utilizes the cool Pacific Ocean breeze to its fullest. Specializing in Syrah and Viognier (and Pinot Noir nearby), they claim to have optimal conditions for these grapes, and all the evidence seems to support that claim. Their farm, RoadsEnd Farm, not only grows grapes but a diverse variety of other fruits and plant life. With agricultural exploration, Baker Lane Vineyards has confidently learned and grown in their biodiverse environment for the last 13 years.

I Said Good Day, Syrah

TASTING NOTES:
“…reflects all of the spicy detail of our home vineyard coupled with exceptional depth of fruit that is supported by a finely wrought tannic structure. Once it opens up, it just goes on and on expressing deeply aromatic black fruit and subtly smoky aromas that are balanced by an impressive mouthfeel.”

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
The most famous use of the classic “Good Day, Sir” is likely Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka in the 1971 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Wonka attempts to dismiss Charlie and his grandfather, only to rescind his dismissal once Charlie proves his trustworthiness and respect by returning candy he’d stolen.

DRINK IT FROM:
Standard red glass.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme option):
A burnt umber top hat.
