Description:
Syrah is a noble grape variety that can produce some serious, long-lived red wines. Syrah is a hearty vine that is planted around the world. It is grown in the Rhone region of France used in making Hermitage, Cote-Rotie and Chateauneuf-du-Pape wines. Synonyms for this grape are Shiraz in Australia and Hermitage in South Africa. At Rutherford Hill, we produce a Syrah that possesses finesse, balance and complexity. The bouquet is reminiscent of cherries with hints of roasted hazelnuts and spices. The acids, tannins and flavors of this wine exist in harmony to create depth and a smooth finish.

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.
