Description:
Inky red-black in color, this syrah has aromas of currant and black cherry, with hints of anise and black tea. On the palate the wine is elegant and lengthy with a well-integrated acid. Winemaker Mike Trujillo says he has a hunch this wine will be even more beautiful as it ages.

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.
