Wine Details
Price:
$32.00 per bottle
Description:
Similar to last year's bottling, the 2003 High-Density offers deep and dastardly aromatics redolent of wild herbs and dark berry fruit mixed with a fresh meatiness. On the palate, these same characteristics are more expansive finishing plush and velvety with ample weight and backbone.

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.
