Description:
The 2006 Black Oak rosé has a rich, rounded mouthfeel and an intriguing streak of earth underlying its generous notes of strawberry, raspberry and rose petals. It shows a fine structure and a pleasant hint of crisp, clean minerality on the finish. While this wine pairs perfectly with lighter fare, this rosé also proved itself a terrific match for the andouille sausage, spicy red beans, and dark gumbo Jennifer's family served on her recent visit home. While this wine will continue to evolve over the next couple of years, it is best enjoyed in its youth.

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.
