Description:
Fort Walla Walla Cellars 2002 Syrah is dark purple in color and elegant indeed! Earthy plum fruit tones challenge one’s taste buds for this complex Columbia Valley Syrah. Dazzling floral fruit flavors include traces of wild berries with a hint of pepper. The wine’s mild oak finish, supplemented with traces of Voignier help to tame this very sophisticated Syrah. The wine should age very gracefully, and continue to be enjoyed for many years to come.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
