Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
An approachable expression of cool climate Syrah – the gamey side of Syrah is balanced by the elegance and finesse of the cool climate fruit, cherries and floral notes. The aromas are a combination of blueberry and kirsch, roasted meat, violets and black licorice. The flavors are cherry, spice and currant, with a medium to long finish of plum and toast. This is a very food friendly wine due to its natural acidity and a restrained winemaking approach (similar to Pinot Noir). Try it with pan seared venison steak and sweet potato mash.

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.
