Syrah

Syrah Wine Details
Price: $19.99 per bottle

Description: One sip of our Wild Horse Syrah may help you to understand why Paso Robles has become a leading region for this noble grape variety. Full bodied and robust, our Syrah offers up intense aromas and flavors which are constantly developing in the glass. At first, notes of cherry and blueberry fruits, then white pepper and smoked meat character. A beautifully complex 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.
