Description:
Following its southern Rhone parentage, our Sonoma Valley Syrah boasts aromatics of cocoa, plum, blackberry & green peppercorn. These aromatics unite on the palate with cassis & suede-like textures. A lingering finish of bramble berries, elements of oak & subtle complexity can be enjoyed by even the most discerning palate. This exceptional Syrah can be paired with gamy meats, such as lamb, duck & wild boar.

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.
