Syrah "Estate Grown"

Syrah "Estate Grown" Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: This wine is a blend of 8 distinct hillside vineyards, which are planted to three different clones of Syrah. With this bottling, we strive for a balance between power and elegance. To that end, we employed a mix of French and Australian winemaking regimes, that we feel best express the terroir of our unique location. The wine is dark garnet in color with an explosive nose of black cherry, plum, raspberry, and wonderful spices, including black pepper and cinnamon. This 100% Estate-Grown Syrah was lovingly open-top fermented with frequent punch downs and aged in a mix of new and 1-3 year. old French oak barriques for 18 months, which results in a wine with subtle oak integration and a very refined mouthfeel. You can drink this wine tonight, or watch it improve in the bottle over the next 2-5 years.
