Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
Hand selected from the very best blocks on the home vineyard, the Syrah is given a subsistence rationing of water and organic mulch fertilizer. The "magic mulch" blend is produced on site from previous vintage pommace and other secret organic remedies. Spoon feeding and minimal water produce low crop yields and a generous helping of structure and balance. This wine is dark and meaty with flavors of ripe blueberries, and pomegranate. The must was cold soaked and open top fermented. After many days of manual punch-down the must was gently pressed, and the wine was aged to perfection in French, Hungarian, and North American oak barrels.

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.
