Oh Sky Vineyard, how little we got to know you. Unfortunately, the 2017 will be the last vintage of Sky Syrah for the foreseeable future, as the little vineyard was in the crosshairs of the inferno of October 2017. This vintage though is one to savor, a wine that screams Syrah from the mountaintops—potently aromatic, peppery and full of the mountain drive and ageworthiness one would expect from this remarkable site—it will provide drinking pleasure for a couple of decades. I will put as much as this in my cellar as is reasonable, though with only 120 cases made, that still won’t be that much!
