Since 1999, Fäsi Estate has set out to create a Syrah vineyard in the San Joaquin Valley unlike any other in the region. The 42-acre vineyard is the culmination of a very simple concept: create an organically certified vineyard that marries the long traditions of wine grape growing with being good stewards of the land.  Based on my last visit, they have done an excellent job in their endeavors.  Fäsi produces some wonderful Syrah’s but don’t forget to try the Malbec too! 

FӒSI Winery in Madera County is putting out some great wines.  While known for their Syrah this little gem comes from their vineyards in Argentina.

Fäsi Estate wines have won numerous national awards including, “The Ten Best Wines of 2015” from Forbes for their 2010 Fäsi Crest Syrah, Private Reserve and a double gold medal from Appellation America for their 2006 Fäsi Crest Private Reserve. 

Fäsi Estate Winery is open daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information and a full list of wines available, visit http://cacorks.com/winery/fasi-estate-vineyard
