Description:
A full-bodied, deep purple Syrah from the same grower whom we sourced our sold out award-winning 2003 Syrah. Jammy on the nose, this 2005 vintage is rich with flavors of plum and cherry with soft integrated tannins. Fruit forward richness transitioning to a harmonious and intense middle palate with a long velvety finish. Pairs perfectly with grilled lamb, duck or blue veined cheeses.

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.
