Winemakers Notes
Incredible indelible red. Black olive tapenade, uncured bacon, freshly cracked pink peppercorns, sun grown cigar wrapper and grill spices plume. Subtle as thigh high black seam silk stockings, the palate is immediately assailed by freshly macerated sun drenched black berries, cherry liqueur and Indonesian clove while ever advancing to the inevitable culmination of expansive whole cluster stem tannin and the afterglow of lingering acidity. Unfined, Unfiltered and Utterly Satisfying.
 
Satisfaction Syrah is 100% Amalie Robert Estate grown Syrah. Among our 30 acres of Pinot Noir, we have planted 0.80 acres (1,188 vines to be exact) of Syrah. This planting represents 4 clones selected for the cool Northern Rhône area of Côte Rôtie, and now Dallas, Oregon.
We grow Syrah right alongside Pinot Noir, and most of the vineyard work is very similar. The primary difference is that we have to wait until November to harvest. We think it is worth the wait.
