Description:
The first Fäsi Crest Syrah Rosé 2005 is now available. More as an after thought, Claude Bobba from Wente Vineyards wanted to prove to us that he could make a dry Rosé by adding some Pinot Grigio. Wilfred Wong defines it as: Deep pink color; attractive raspberry-like aroma with a slightly detracting green, herbal element, very good depth of fruit; medium bodied, nicely packed on the palate, a touch of excess tannin, good structure; dry, good acidity, good balance; pleasant grapey, weedy flavors, a bit modest in concentration; medium finish, nice structure. (Best Served: 2006-2008)

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.
