Region: Monterey County, California

Vintage: 2009

Composition: 100% Syrah

History: Miura (myu rä) n. 1. Derived from Don Eduardo Miura, the most famous breeder of Spanish fighting bulls; for the Spanish, Miura is a legendary name signifying nobility, boldness and power. Miura is our program that focuses on what I feel are the best regions in California for the growing of Pinot Noir. Within each of those regions I have selected the vineyard that best exemplifies that area stylistically and qualitatively.
