Wine Details
Price:
$29.95 per bottle
Description:
Opens with a lush aromatic profile featuring plentiful dark berry characters, hints of violet, lavender, cinnamon, and a subtle undercurrent of clove. Those same aromas develop into a plush arrangement of dark berry and black cherry flavors, featuring a soft smoky character in the background. Excellent acid and tannin structure and a velvety mouth feel lend added sophistication, and offer this wine the opportunity to develop its voluptuous finish. Aged for 24 months in specific percentages of hand selected French and Russian oak.

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.
