Description:
The syrah grape is the main grape grown in the Rhone valley and has its origins in Greece. Ventana Vineyards has been growing their Estate Syrah since the late 1970s. The wine displays a unique Black Pepper quality that is inherent in the grape. Ventana has chosen to lightly oak the wine so the wonderful Black Pepper and spice qualities are paramount. This is the wine of choice for those who prefer their red wine with an unusual flare and dry qualities.

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.
