The heart of 2008 Scarpa Syrah is the Krupp vineyard high above Oakville in Napa Valley. This impressive site is adjacent to the famous Stagecoach Vineyard, and is owned and managed by Stagecoach’s own Jan Krupp. These beautiful Syrah vines feel the gentle sun all day long, providing for soft complex tannins and great aromatics. The soils here are deep reddish-brown rocky clays with Basaltic subsoils.
