Cold Spring Cedarville Syrah 2023

Cold Spring is a boutique winery and project in El Dorado County, California, founded in 2019 by winemaker Adam Smith. A native of the region, Smith returned to the Sierra Foothills after gaining extensive experience in winemaking in California, Oregon, and abroad. The winery is named after a historic Gold Rush-era ghost town in El Dorado County, reflecting the region's long history. Smith is committed to organic and hands-off winemaking, with fermentations guided by wild yeasts to allow the unique character of El Dorado's terroir to shine. With vines planted in the high-elevation terrain of the Sierra Nevada foothills, the wines are known for being vibrant and expressive, balancing ripe fruit flavors with alpine freshness. Before establishing Cold Spring, Adam Smith held positions at acclaimed wineries such as Domaine Serene in Oregon and Banshee Wines in Sonoma, giving him a deep understanding of different winemaking styles.
