$15.00 per bottle
Description:
The first impression is the color. Our Syrah is a rich, opaque deep purple wine. The second is in the glass. Flavors are reminiscent of lush blackberry, plum and grilled sweet red pepper. The last impression is in the finish with spicy oak flavors that comes from aging eight months in American oak and a hint of juniper like berry. The grapes are custom grown for us in California. We crush the berries and the long fermentation on the skin brings out the richest flavor of the ripe grapes. Enjoy our Syrah now or if you can wait, the aging potential is five to ten years.

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.
