Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
This bold Syrah was skillfully aged entirely in a blend of new and 2 year old French Oak from a variety of coopers. This wine carries with it a lot of dark fruit, blackberry, plums and hints of vanilla. The tannins are well rounded and contribute a nice mouthfeel with a slight hint of toasty oak showcasing the fruit forward nature of this Syrah. Delicious to enjoy now and certainly cellar worthy, if you are able to hold back after you enjoy this earth moving wine.

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.
