Description: Deepest magenta in the glass, bordering on purple. Blackberries and plum jam in the nose, with a touch of smokiness. On the palate, one finds blueberries, blackberries, plums, and smoky bacon nuances amid a powerful tannin structure. Finishes with a pleasing side of gamey-ness, lingering like the best campfire ever.

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.
