An ugly ducking becomes a beautiful swan in Hans Christian Anderson’s fable — a metaphor for a royal lineage and an inner beauty. All of our barrels of estate syrah have a noble lineage, but in crafting our Cygnet Syrah we discover some have an inner beauty ready to be released sooner rather than later. A cygnet is the baby swan, like that found in Anderson’s tale. Our barrel selections for Cygnet Syrah create our most forward syrah. We named this wine after the lovely young cygnet that our pair of swans in our pond brought into the world this year. We hope that both Troon and our swans will give birth to many cygnets in the vintages to come. No ugly duckling, Cygnet Syrah is always ready to enjoy upon release.

Nate Wall’s Winemaker Notes

Our vineyard at Troon was designed to create diverse styles of wines — some to be blended and some to stand on their own. As the various lots are tasted, some stand out for having a distinct style and, while we like these wines, they do not always improve our blends. Our Cygnet Syrah is one of those wines. Incredibly savory and forward, we could not resist bottling these barrels as their own wine — Cygnet.

Troon Vineyard embraces syrah as a variety capable of being very expressive of different aspects of a site's terroir, much like a warmer climate version of Pinot Noir. The 2022 Cygnet Syrah picks up on syrah’s ability to express savory and herbal elements in the wine and the fruit. This wine was made using approximately 33% whole cluster fermentation, meaning the entire grape bunch was used without destemming. The whole cluster adds some spiciness and interesting herbal characteristics, bringing more depth to the readily available fruit flavors. The 2022 Cygnet Syrah has slightly less structured tannins, meaning it is more enjoyable now and is not intended for prolonged aging.

We are excited to offer our first wines in reusable bottles as part of the Revino project. When you return your empty bottles to us, we return them to Revino, where they will be cleaned and refilled with wine. Better than recycling, these reusable bottles align with our regenerative organic philosophy. This is a new concept, and, as pioneers, we need your help. After you enjoy our 2022 Cygnet Syrah and other wines in Rivino refillable bottles, please return the bottles to either of our tasting rooms. We need you to do your part for the planet too. On the bottom of each Revino bottle, you will find a map of Oregon and the words “refillable bottles” embossed in the glass. We welcome you to return these bottles from any winery using them to Troon. For more information on Revino refillable bottles, please click here.
