Description:
Our 2002 Paso Robles Syrah is a blend of two west side vineyards. The Dove Pond Vineyard owned and farmed by CriCri and Rich Eastin is located in the middle of the Templeton Gap on the Hwy 46 Corridor. The soils are comprised of broken shale and clay and produce a wine of depth and minerality. The Millbrook Vineyard was planted on the far western reaches of the Paso Robles appellation and contributes finesse and elegance to the blend. Our 2002 Syrah is showing luscious dark berried fruit, should be served at room temperature and enjoyed with well-spiced game and red meat dishes.

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.
