Description:
This is the first Syrah by Sequoia Grove under the Allen Family label. It is the beginning of a new product line. Eventually we will have our own Syrah acreage in production and will also be producing a premium Napa Valley Syrah. Syrah has always had a place in the wine drinking world, being a full bodied red wine that is fruit forward and easy on the tannins. It is fast becoming one of the most popular wines in America, especially in the premium wine-producing areas.

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.
