Price:
Description:
Youthful, almost buoyant
scents of blackberry in this
wine's handsomely composed
aromas are seasoned by notes of
mace, roasted meat and sweet oak,
and the range and depth of the nose
are reiterated in the blackberry-
laden, spicy, almost cinnamon-
tinged flavors that follow.
Fairly weighty on the palate
with plenty of tannin in attendance,
this is one that will want savory
meats if served today, yet can
easily find a more rounded
stance with cellaring.

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.
