Syrah, Parmelee-Hill

Syrah, Parmelee-Hill Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: The first thing you notice is the density of color and the vivid aromatics. Violets, concentrated black cherry, mocha, cigar tobacco, brown spice, blackberry and refined oak converge in varying degrees. The palate is very rich and well structured, leading to a long, lush finish.

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.
