Description:
"Just Candy" is made entirely of Syrah from Candy Mountain Vineyard. This is a late harvest wine, and the fruit was patiently left on the vine until late November 2003. This is a uniquely delicious wine, with thick, dark flavors of black licorice, dark chocolate, tar and complex ripe fruit.

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.
