Wine Details
Price:
$38.00 per bottle
Description:
“Outstanding! Concentrated aromas of dried plums, roasted meat, dried wood, vanilla, black raspberry and smoke - nicely complex! Smooth mouthfeel carries forward and well focused flavors of spicy plums and sweet raspberries, backed by firm acidity and very nicely controlled tannins. This is a well made, flavorful syrah that offers nicely focused and bright fruit with a nice, fresh feel (thanks to the balanced tannins). Cook’s Choice: Bright, flavorful fruit makes this a great match for big, flavorful food!” Oregon Wine Report, Spring 2005.

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.
