Description:
Grown on the eastern bench of Dry Creek Valley, Palindrome Vineyard Syrah lived up to our greatest expectations. The fruit is deep, dark and jammy with overlays of smoke, caramel and a hint of leather. The mouth-feel is chewy, very well rounded, with smooth, lingering finish. Delicious now, but promises even greater complexity and finesse with cellar aging.

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.
