Wine Details
Price:
$30.00 per bottle
Description:
This 100% certified, organically grown Syrah Estate has a deep burgundy eye that is elliptically surrounded by a rainbow effect of gradated reds in the glass. Classic, California-like Syrah aromas of white pepper, stewed plums, and blueberry pie are decorated by the seemingly Rhone-like aromas of smoked meats. This wine will make an excellent match with smoked or grilled chicken, lamb, or wild game and would be exceptional with Indian curries. Although this medium-bodies Syrah is soft enough to drink in 2004, with proper cellaring it will soften and plateau in quality from 2005 to 2010.

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.
