The Canihan vineyards are ideally located in Sonoma, on the border of the Sonoma Valley and Carneros Appellations.

Organic vineyard management practices, dry-farming, cane-pruning, hand-harvesting only at complete ripeness, fermentation with naturally occurring native yeast, and no fining or filtering result in flavorful wines expressive of our terroir.  Our commitment to elegant and flavorful wine is also evident by our low yields, which never exceed two tons per acre. We allow each vintage to display its own unique characteristics and patiently let the wines develop in the barrel without intervention.

The 2004 Syrah, our first wine, was judged by 47 judges over three days and awarded “Best of Show Red Wine” from over 4,300 wines at the prestigious 2007 San Francisco International Wine Competition. Beginning with our 2005 vintage, our Syrah bears the “Exuberance” label. Our 2007 Exuberance Syrah was awarded the Sweepstakes Award in the 2010 Sonoma Valley Vintners & Growers Association Wine Competition. Current vintages continue to receive Gold medals and 90 to 96 point ratings from the Beverage Testing Institute, the World Wine Competition, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Francisco International Competitions. 

Enjoy two bottles each of “Exuberance” by Canihan Syrah from the 2008, 2009 & 2010 vintages.
