Description:
The 2003 SMITH WOOTON Syrah
nearly springs from the glass with fresh,
ripe fruit and underlying spices.
The intense, dark fruit fills the mouth
and lingers long on the palate.
Tannins are velvet smooth
and the whole experience
is one of luscious decadence!
It's another masterpiece from
Winemaker, Gary Wooton and
Tanner Brothers Vineyard.

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.
