Series Syrah

Reserve Series Syrah Wine Details
Price: $29.99 per bottle

Description: This wine is filled with aromas of dark raspberry and blackberry fruit complicated with hints of cedar, vanilla and black pepper. The palate reveals ripe flavors of black fruits, fat, sweet and rich, with lively violet and licorice notes and firm underlying structure. Late hint of inky licorice. Silky and elegant, with good volume and plenty of personality. The rich supple ripe fruits linger on one’s palate with a nice smooth pleasing finish.

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.
