Canihan Exuberrance

The History

The Canihan Family produces award-winning Pinot Noir, Syrah,
and Cabernet Franc from our certified organic estate vineyards in
the heart of the Sonoma Valley

The Vineyard

The Canihan Family vineyards are ideally located in the So¬
noma Valley, and because we border on the Los Carneros Ap¬
pellation, the vineyards receive the cool evening breezes and
frequent fog from San Francisco Bay that provide for perfect
grape growing conditions. Organic vineyard management prac¬
tices, dry-farming, hand-harvesting only at complete ripeness,
fermentation with naturally occurring native yeast, and no fin¬
ing or filtering result in flavorful wines expressive of our “ter-
roir”. Our commitment to elegant and flavorful wine is also evi¬
denced by our low yields, which never exceed two tons per acre

Tasting Notes

Engaging and elegant Syrah. It is bright and rich to the nose, offer¬
ing blueberry, boysenberry, red raspberry and red rose aromas, with
notes of bouillon, smoked meat and black and white peppercorn in
support. It is already silky on the palate, with a generous mouth-feel
and lots of blackberry, raspberry, bouillon, black tea, and pepper¬
corn flavors that linger in a youthful, yet elegantly expressive mix
