George's son Mick now runs the estate. French-born winemaker Sébastien Pochan has led the cellar since 2001. Biodynamic practices were introduced in 2004. The Syrah comes from two estate blocks, the Benchland and the Creekside; the 2022 is sourced entirely from the Creekside block, the cooler and more aromatic of the two, at the lower elevation adjacent to Dry Creek itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UNTI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51502232305970,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3206\/7378\/files\/IMG_2091.heic?v=1784755544","url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/unti-2022-syrah-dry-creek-valley","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
