83 The backbone of the estate winery is the initially planted Syrah, lush with layered dark fruits with a velvety finish, that has garnered annual Best of Class awards not only in the US, but also by the Berlin International Wine Competition in every year entered. Michael Gill wines are produced from estate fruit—no grapes are bought, no grapes are sold. All varietals are dry farmed, decreasing yield but concentrating the fruit flavors. Old World methods are used, and quality, not quantity, is the focus with an annual case production of a mere 1,000 to 1,200 cases. It's a family run operation at Michael Gill Cellars where you will likely see Dr. Gill (or his children) behind the counter, or friendly staff to make your tasting experience more than memorable.
