Wine Details
Price:
$32.00 per bottle
Description:
Carolyn Coryelle’s vineyard is located in the coastal hills east of Jenner and Fort Ross above 1000 feet elevation, and provides Tin Barn with a unique source of California Syrah. Carolyn has planted both a meadow and a hill block. The 2002 vintage has a small percentage of grapes from the hillside. The wine has a deep purple color and displays some of the same smoky/meaty characteristics of Syrah from the Northern Rhone region of France. This Syrah has a long finish on the palette that is enhanced by the seamless integration of new French 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.
