Wine Details
Price:
$40.00 per bottle
Description:
The nose presents the most engaging aroma of freshly cracked black pepper, blueberries, blackberries, a hint of oak and from the stems an earthy, wet pebble/stone component. On the palate this wine reminds me a bit more of the Northern Rhône than California. Never overpowering but sleek and juicy with all of the aforementioned flavors coming through. The wine finishes long and refreshing with a final burst of that fresh pepper that was so enticing on the nose. Our only regret is that we couldn't make more.

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.
