A glimpse at our bins of Syrah clusters waiting to be "Crushed" with a "dash" of Viognier grapes keeping them company.

This practice of "co-fermenting" Syrah (a red grape) and Viognier (a white grape) is a tradition that comes from the Rhone region of France. We've been doing this at Cinder since our initial vintage in 2006, when we made our first two barrels of Cinder Syrah.

These beauties will be in your glass sometime in 2013!

-Melanie Krause, Head Winemaker

Thanks to our amazing Winemaking Team for caring for the harvest...and a shout out to Pete who's been tending lots of incoming grapes & getting a wicked good workout while he does it.

These beautiful Grenache grapes will become Rosé this year...but in the future as the vines that grow this Grenache become more & more mature they'll be part of Cinder's first ever GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). The wine will be called "Rowen's Blend"...as a nod to the growing boy who keeps his Mom and Dad on their toes. ...
