VERGE Wine Cellars is dedicated to producing expressive Syrah from unique parcels and vineyards throughout the North Coast. Sourcing our fruit from vineyards on the edges of the wild, we strongly believe that organic and biodynamic growers produce better grapes and the best Syrah.

We take a minimalist approach in the cellar. Native yeasts contribute to what we call the Wild Stamp – which is the overall ecological footprint of the vineyard, present in the wine itself. The reds are only racked one time prior to bottling. Filtering and fining are dependent on the vintage but generally used only when absolutely necessary. We don’t want to strip any of the goodness or uniqueness from these wickedly good vineyards. Our barrel regime revolves around the occasional stirring and a combination of new and used French Oak. Each year it varies, but we shoot for 20-30% new. Our main goal in the cellar is make age-worthy Syrah that is expressive of site and demonstrates what California Syrah in particular is all about.
