description: Owner/winemaker Oded Shakked was until recently the longtime winemaker at J Wine Co. Now he's doing his own thing, and this is his personal vineyard, in prime Pinot Noir country along Westside Road. The wine is softly opulent in blueberry, blackberry and coffee flavors, with a melted chocolate richness balanced by rich, ripe tannins. Drink now.
variety: Syrah
designation: Dakine Vineyard
