In our quest for excellence, we focus on obtaining only the best fruit possible for our specific wine programs through careful vineyard block selection and precise viticultural practices. To ensure the highest quality wine at Buoncristiani, we encourage controlled stress in the vineyard to produce low yielding, concentrated, and balanced fruit full of flavor and varietal expression. Once our grapes reach full maturity, carefully decided by our palates, we harness this inherent potential from the vineyard to the bottle through meticulous tracking and blending of each promising component. We strive to create optimum complexity while retaining balance, varietal character, and superior quality.

Enticing aromas of blueberry, blackberry, dark chocolate, white pepper and exotic spices lead to a fleshy mouthfeel that oozes with yum-factor. Our 2009 Syrah promises to deliver a smile after each sip.

Deep aromas of cassis, blackberry, dark chocolate, caramelized oak, toffee, and the Buoncristiani signatures of balance, depth on the mid palate, and a lengthy persistent finish. Twenty months aging in 80% new French oak barrels rounded out the palate even further, while adding more texture, aroma, and flavor components.
Handcrafted in boutique collector amounts our version of this rare, dry Italian varietal is intensely flavored yet supple and focused, making it not only a crowd pleaser, but also a great food companion. Only 130 cases were crafted!
