Description:
We very much like the style we achieved with this wine. The 1998 Sunny Oak Syrah is a bit deceptive – showing more floral and racy aromas than the 1997, but with an even softer mouthfeel and less perception of alcohol. Our 1998 Syrah shows much finesse, and beautifully demonstrates the perfumed terroir of this site.

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.
