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.

Baker Street Blues

TASTING NOTES:
“Ravishingly purple with slight hints of blue, the wine’s dark fruit opulence starts to unfold generously after 15 minutes in the glass. Fine-grained tannins both balance the palate at present and also confirm that 5-8 years of cellar potential is well within the wine’s grasp.

The complex layers of fruit and spice that define this wine’s flavor architecture are exactly why we remain thrilled to have planted Syrah in our ‘backyard’. Our reliably cool growing conditions allow us to capture a distinctively complex matrix of Syrah characteristics.”

BARRELS:
22 months in Kadar 400L puncheons, 20% new.
