Wine Details
Price:
$34.90 per bottle
Description:
Aromas and texture really stand out with this wine.The aromas are earthy, spicy, leathery, and meaty and these follow through onto the palate. As for the texture, or mouthfeel, it is full and structured. Without being cloying, the wine is very full bodied. With some fairly aggressive tannin, it will need either cellaring time or protein of the four legged type to soften them off.

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.
