Chalone Vineyard Estate Syrah

Chalone Vineyard Estate Syrah Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: The grapes are completely estate grown and the wine was aged in French oak barrels for 18 months. About a third of the barrels were new. We blended in three percent Viognier for spice and heightened fruitiness and six percent Grenache to add a touch of perfume. At Chalone, we think of Syrah as Pinot Noir on steroids, so we take great care to prevent excessive harsh tannins in the wine. Our Syrah has intense blackberry and cherry fruit aromas with ripe, soft tannins and a lengthy finish.
