Description:
A puncheon is a 500 liter barrel, twice the size of the average barrel. The larger volume cask has less surface area with the wine and leaves a soft, smooth finish. This wine has hints of chocolate, cherry and currant flavors which lace it with a nice lingering vanilla 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.
