Description:
The Pelkan Syrah is from Sarah’s Family’s Vineyard in Knights Valley. The red rock soil on this hillside vineyard produces a Syrah with great intensity. Bright raspberry and cherry are intertwined with note of anise and spice. The wine also exhibits more leather and earthy notes. On the palate the wine shows its youthfulness, tight plum, cherry fruit are wound together followed by a spicy note and longer finish. As with the Gott Vines Syrah one will be tempted to drink now, but with a little cellaring the wine is only going to gain in its complexity.

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.
