Check out these photos, both of our oldest Syrah block at #TablasCreek. Photo 1, leaves still a vibrant green, is from this week. Photo 2 is from September 2014. What's different? We've spent the last 8 years transitioning to #Biodynamic and then #RegenerativeOrganic farming.

This is made possible by the increased organic matter in the soil (thank you, sheep) and the better water retention and cooler soil temperatures that result. So: less vine stress in our inherently high-stress environment.
