Old Yokayo Rancho Vineyard SYRAH

Old Yokayo Rancho Vineyard SYRAH Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: Our Spectacular, Single-Vineyard Syrah Throughout the wine-growing world, there are only a few vineyards that have even the look of potential greatness. This is one of those perfect looking sites and the resulting rich, saturated wine is our vineyard-designate Syrah. Perched on the rocky western slopes of the northern Ukiah Valley, the young vineyard welcomes the morning sun and catches the afternoon winds, allowing the slow, steady flavor maturation of this small-berried Shiraz clone. On the Palate This 2000 Syrah presents its usual blackfruit/cassis notes with an array of complex nuances of mocha, spices, black pepper and savory-earthiness. Powerful yet lean, its tannins perform a supporting role in its compatibility with rich cuisine. Pair with a wide range of grilled or roasted meats and vegetables. As in the Rhône, game and mushrooms, sausage and olives, cassoulet, and other savory foods work exceedingly well.
