Price:
$60.00 per bottle
Description:
Coming off the upper block of the hillside this Syrah is jet black and inky dark and is sublime in everyway! Not much more to add, this is one of the finest American Syrahs I’ve tasted to date, with lush intense fruit and fantastic depth and complexity. It really doesn’t get much better than this, I think even those top producers in Cote-Rotie would be shocked and awed! Blueberry compote, cassis, cherry liqueur with lovely hints of pepper, exotic spices, mineral and sweet new wood all add up to perfection. Syrah fans line up now!

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.
