2002 Syrah

2002 Syrah Wine Details
Price: $32.00 per bottle

Description: Instantly identifiable by the oodles of pepper and spice on the nose, combined with plenty of blackberries and plums. This one is packed with tannin so it will have the ability to age well. Our 2001 Vintage was the Winner of a Gold Medal, Best Red Wine and Best of Show at the L.A. County Fair.

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.
