description: The winery's grape sourcing in the past has been the Sierra Foothills. This Syrah hails from Sonoma Valley, and it has lost a bit of complexity in the translation. The wine is 100% Syrah, unlike last year's “The Brawler” bottling, which contained some Viognier. It's a little heavy and soft, although there's no denying the richness of the blackberry jam, coffee and chocolate flavors. Now–2013.
variety: Syrah
designation: The Instigator
