Syrah Artist Series - Cucamonga Valley

Syrah Artist Series Reserve - Cucamonga Valley Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: Syrah is one of the world's most noble black grape varieties... capable of aging majestically. Widely planted in France's Rhone Valley, Syrah has become quite popular among California vintners and consumers over the past decade. Known as Shiraz in Australia, Syrah produces richly flavored, deeply colored wines. It thrives in warmer climates, making it perfectly suited to Cucamonga Valley's sunny slope, sandy, gravel alluvial fan terroir. Our true Syrah is a medium-bodied wine characterized with aromas of rich berry fruit, pepper and hints of spice. Grown at the historic Hippard Ranch (Est 1882) in Etiwanda. Round tannins and pleasant lingering finish. Aged 16 months in American, French and Hungarian white oak barrels. Pairs well with flavorful dishes including grilled lamb chops, pork roasts or game hens. Or enjoy solo! 13.2% alc. Pours proud now or cellar to 2010.
