Description:
The 2003 Shannon Ridge High Valley Syrah offers impressive dark color, with aromatics that lean toward dusty rose, mulberry, and a controlled, vanilla scented toast. On the palate, this Syrah continues with the flavors expressed on the nose, and segues into ripe boysenberry, plum, brown sugar, coffee, and cedar.

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.
