Wine Details
Price:
$34.00 per bottle
Description:
"Fruit forward and complex nose mostly of raspberries, black cherry, and a jaminess that hints at the ripeness of this wine. Very full bodied, yet remarkably balanced at the same time. The wine would be perfect to enjoy in its youth, but able to age for 2-5 years. There is plenty of spiciness to balance the fruitiness in this wine. The spice notes are mostly comprised of freshly crushed white pepper, and a vanilla note from the indulgent oak ageing. The wine was aged for 20 months in barrel prior to bottling, yielding a soft and lush wine that would be at home on the dinner table or simply by itself with great friend." - Andrew Murray, Winemaker

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.
