Modus Operandi Cellars is a small-production winery founded by Jason Moore, centered on vineyard-designate wines that highlight the individuality of some of California’s top sites. This Syrah is sourced from Caldwell Vineyard in the eastern hills of Napa Valley, where rocky volcanic soils and abundant sunlight yield intensely concentrated fruit balanced by freshness from cool evening temperatures. Moore’s restrained winemaking approach allows the vineyard’s savory complexity, structure, and mineral character to come forward without excessive oak or extraction.
