Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
This is our 4th vintage from the Canterbury Vineyard here in Calaveras county. The 2001 growing season was a little cooler thus the grapes hung on the vine a little longer allowing the flavors to intensify. Fermented with a yeast strain from the Rhone Valley, this wine is bold and ripe in fruit character and easy to enjoy.

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.
