Wine Details
Price:
$45.00 per bottle
Description:
Big, bold and powerful aromas emanate from the full-bodied dense and compact wine. A wine built for the long haul. Wild blackberry aromas carry over the palate, giving rich and concentrated flavors with caramel, rye, chocolate and gamey characters. The tannins are big, but sweet with ripeness intertwined and well balanced with the fruit and barrel spices, giving a solid frame for agability. Best opened starting in 2007 and drinkable through 2017.

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.
