How Selection Numbers are Created
Questions are often asked as to how Foundation Plant Services (FPS) decides which number to assign to the grape selections in the foundation vineyard and whether those numbers relate to particular clones that may be the sources of the FPS selections.
The answer for most selections in the FPS foundation vineyard is that selection numbers are assigned by the next available (unused) number in sequence for that variety. There is nothing magical about it. For example, the first Sauvignon blanc selection that came to FPS in 1958 was named Sauvignon blanc FPS 01. The next Sauvignon blanc arrival received the name Sauvignon blanc FPS 02. Gaps in the numbering system in the current list of available selections mean that the omitted number was taken out of circulation for some reason, such as death from disease.
FPS intentionally chose the word "selection" rather than "clone" when referring to the products offered in the foundation vineyard. The word "clone" can be confusing and ambiguous. The major European collections have formal evaluation protocols for grape material to qualify material for release as an official "clone". Evaluation criteria includes field performance and wine making characteristics.
FPS does not perform formal clonal evaluations on the grapevine materials accepted for the foundation vineyard. The word "selection" at FPS simply means the material was collected from a single source vine from the vineyard of origin, whether within the United States or from a foreign vineyard. Some of our numbered selections have been through trials here in California but FPS does not conduct those trials or evaluations.
Having said that, there is a subgroup of selections at FPS that are official numbered clones from the formal clonal development programs in Europe. Those official clones are imported and sold by the owners as proprietary (trademarked) clonal material in the United States. The owners are large government or nursery entities in Europe, such as the ENTAV-INRA® clonal material from the IFV program in France. In order to preserve the identity of those clones, FPS agreed to assign them the same official clone number that the program in Europe gave them when released there. Cabernet Sauvignon 685 from France received the name Cabernet Sauvignon ENTAV-INRA® 685 at FPS. The owners of those proprietary clones are the ones who vouch for or affirm the authenticity of their trademarked clones.
Lastly, there is a small subset of "clones" that came to FPS in the 1980's prior to the establishment of the trademark programs for the European clones. Those clones also came to the United States associated with clone numbers assigned when the clones were developed in Europe. Many of the French clones in that group were developed at Dijon in France and the material has been known as the "Dijon clones". Those French clones were not protected by an official trademark program at the time they came to the United States. Some of those clones are no longer used in France and some were incorporated into the ENTAV-INRA trademark program.
FPS refers to this subset of clones as "generic clonal material". FPS agreed that we would assign those non-proprietary clones a new number at FPS rather than the European clonal number. They received their FPS numbers using the "next in order" rule. We may have a note on the plant description that the selection is "reported to be a certain French clone number". FPS cannot guarantee that such a selection is the official French clone number that it was formally associated with in France.

| Comments |
This Syrah clone was imported to Foundation Plant Services from France in 1995 for a private nursery. The plant material is reported to be French clone 300. The importation was accomplished prior to the initiation of the ENTAV-INRA trademark program for official French clonal material. The words 'reported to be' indicate that the authenticity of the clonal material cannot be guaranteed for this selection. The original material for this selection underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 1996. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Syrah 04 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2000. The selection has been donated to the FPS public grapevine collection. |

| Comments |
Syrah 09 was imported from Domaine de l’Espiguette, France, in 1973 by Austin Goheen (USDA Plant Introduction no. 391452). The cuttings were supplied by M. Claude Valat at the Association Nacionale Technique pour l’Amelioration de la Viticulture. Although the material was referred to as ‘Syrah’ in the plant introduction records, the selection was planted in the FPS foundation vineyard in 1976 under the name Sirah 01. At the time, FPMS already had a selection with the name Syrah 01; in order to avoid duplication, the name of the Espiguette introduction was assigned as Sirah 01. The original material for this selection tested positive for Rupestris stem pitting virus, which was not allowed in the new FPS foundation vineyard in Brooks tract. In order to qualify for the foundation vineyard (now known as the Classic Foundation Vineyard), Sirah 01 underwent tissue culture therapy in 1997 and was released as Syrah 09 in 2001. In 2007, a hold was placed on the only Syrah 09 vine in the FPS foundation vineyard due to the possibility of GVA virus. That suspicion was based on a Kober 5BB field index indicator test recently used on a sibling vine which detected GVA virus. FPS scientists ultimately concluded that the Kober 5BB woody index often gave false or ambiguous results and discontinued use of the field test, replacing it with improved PCR testing for GVA virus. High throughput sequencing tests in 2016 on the single Syrah 09 vine remaining in the Classic Foundation Vineyard revealed that the vine was negative for GVA, and the hold on the vine was removed. The original material for Syrah 09 had also undergone microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2007. The treated material was advanced to Provisional status at FPS in 2011 and released as Syrah 22. Syrah 22 qualified for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard where the selection was planted in 2012 as Syrah 22.1. |

The original material underwent heat treatment for 71 days at FPS and was planted in the old FPS foundation vineyard in 1976 as Syrah 01. Syrah 01 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy in 1997. After successful completion of disease testing, the treated material was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard as Syrah 10. |

The original plant material for this selection was imported to Davis by Dr. Harold Olmo (former Professor, Department of Viticulture & Enology, University of California, Davis) in 1936 from Richter Nursery in Montpellier, France (USDA Plant Identification number 113643). Although the import information labelled this material 'Petite Sirah', Dr. Olmo indicated that label was incorrect. He opined that the material that was imported was the 'true Syrah' (see FPS indexing records). Dr. Olmo maintained this plant material in the Department (Viticulture & Enology) vineyards at UC Davis and also donated the material to the National Clonal Germplasm Repository at Davis (DVIT 896). The original material tested positive for virus at Foundation Plant Services (2000-2001) and underwent microshoot tip tissue culture disease elimination therapy in 2000. The treated plant material successfully completed testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program and was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2006. |

This plant material originated from property of the St. Helena Library near Oakville, California. This selection was discovered during a project to collect old vine selections for a Petite Sirah planting at the University of California's Oakville Field Station. Three varieties - Durif, Peloursin, and Syrah - were found in the vineyard, suggesting that they might once have been blended into a black variety field blend that was used in the past in the Napa area. This original plant material came to Foundation Plant Services in 2001 and underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy in that year. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Syrah 15 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 2006. |
