Description:
Nestled in the hills of the Dry Creek Valley, our Grist Vineyard has long been known to produce robust powerful wines, and our Syrah is no exception. Classic Syrah characteristics of blackberry, plum and smoke are complemented by the distinctly Grist Vineyard qualities of bright red cherry fruit to produce a wine that is slender yet firm in structure- lush to the finish.

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.
