Description:
Syrah is unproven in this new Red Hills appellation, and we have eagerly anticipated the release of this first Syrah from our vineyard.The typical Syrah tell - smokiness - was present even in the grapes. In barrel, the flavor evolved into a smoked meat and blueberry mix. Now in bottle this Syrah is varietally accurate in the flavors and draws support from sweet tannins that aren't particularly astringent or aggressive. This is a full bodied wine with considerable appeal in its youth and cellaring potential for as much as a decade

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.
