Description:
This is clearly the most complex and concentrated Syrah we’ve ever made, which makes sense given the additional vineyard sources. It is darker, juicier and more aromatic than any previous vintage. You’ll recognize the classic Unti blackberry/smoked meat character, here, with this 2002, it is accented nicely by violets, lavender and raspberry liqueur. This full-bodied Syrah has excellent depth, richness and balance. The wine will age for 7 to10 years, though it won’t make it that long in my house.

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.
