Description:
Our 2002 Russian River Valley Syrah is made from grapes grown in the rolling hills above the Russian River. The area is marked by long warm days and cool refreshing nights, and the fruit from this region is rich, bright and intense. Our 2002 Russian River Syrah was produced using traditional winemaking methods that included the use of small open top fermenters and hand punch downs of the fermenting grapes.
The result is a wine with bright fresh fruit flavors including red cherries, blueberries and raspberries with hints of lavender. Production 300 cases

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.
