Wine Details
Price:
$35.00 per bottle
Description:
This Syrah may be our finest “ATR” effort to date. The wine is bursting with blackberry and dark cherry enhanced by spice, a hint of black licorice and floral notes. Firm, mocha flavored tannins add structure and complexity. This is an age worthy wine that will drink well into the next decade.

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.
