Description:
2006 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition Gold Medal Winner
The 2003 Syrah is from Tanner Vineyards, known for their fine grapes. The wine is full-bodied, fruity, smooth and was so good this year that we did not blend it with any other variety. It has a marvelous structure and mouth feel by itself. You will find up-front fruit, a nice middle and a smooth, interesting finish. The wine contains aromas and flavors of cherry and berry with a hint of spice, and vanilla. Drink the wine now or lay it down to smooth out the tannins even more. We recommend this wine with any heavy meal such as good barbequed steak.

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.
