Silvan Ridge Syrah

Silvan Ridge Syrah Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Deep, dark, and intense, brimming with black fruits and exotic spices, this wine is not for the faint of heart. Great concentration of fruit and extract that is balanced by lots of soft tannins, this Syrah is most definitely a true collector’s model.

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.
