Melville Vineyard Syrah

Melville Vineyard Syrah Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: Once again the long cool growing season of the Santa Rita Hills gave us a late November harvest. The grapes were picked at ripness on the very late date on November 23rd. The Syrah juice went through a 40 to 45 day maceration. The wine was then aged for 15 months in barrel, unracked, sur lees. Cold climate Syrah is marked by its forward berry character, dense floral component (such as lavender) and white pepper spice. The full body and rustic tannins of Syrah make it a good pairing with strong cheese and hearty foods.
