Wine Details
Price:
$33.00 per bottle
Description:
The Sonoma Coast has developed a reputation for long growing seasons with a balance of cool breezes, foggy mornings, and sunny afternoons. This leads to longer hang times that really enhance the character of Syrah. Our Stage Gulch Syrah was picked at the very end of October. This wine has a dark purple hue and an intense mix of flavors including spice and pepper mixed with rich blackberry jam. Less than 150 cases produced.

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.
