Description:
In this wine one finds baker ?s cocoa, ripe blackberry and even white peppercorn, a pleasant and piquant alter-ego of the black spice. It easily succeeds in providing a sensational addition to the Rhône-style section of your cellar. Glen Fiona ?s benchmark wines are made from Walla Walla Valley fruit, and they continue to be the winery ?s finest offerings in its range of appellation-based Syrahs. An age-worthy, finely structured wine, the 1999 Glen Fiona Walla Walla Valley Syrah is fully capable of reaching its peak between 2007 to 2009.If you can't wait, it shows well now and will be a pleasant and perfect accompaniment to peppercorn steak, grilled vegetables, salmon, lamb chops or kebabs.

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.
