2nd Place Award: SyrahBoyd Family Winery
Stan and Joan BoydAt the Boyd Family Winery, we strive to make wine in a classic hand-crafted style. Starting with ripe fruit and mature flavors, whole berry fermentation, hand punched down, heavy extraction and minimal racking create wines with soft tannin structure and intense flavors.
2000 Merlot - Big Ranch Vineyard - Napa Valley
The Big Ranch Merlot has great color with nice aromas of vanilla, blueberry jam and blackberry. A nice balance of oak and fruit on the nose. Good tannin structure will allow for aging but is very enjoyable now. Total production - 42 cases.2001 Syrah - Merlot - Big Ranch Vineyard - Napa Valley
The Syrah has deep, dark concentrated flavors of blackberry and cherry and earth-woven with soft and complex tannins. Aged in oak for 18 months.2000 Merlot - Napa Valley
The Napa Valley Merlot is a blend of valley and mountain fruit and exhibits a complex style. Blackberry, current and cherry aromas make this wine a real winner.
