Nickel and Nickel Hudson Vineyard Syrah Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: Hudson Syrah shows a beautiful dark color very characteristic of Syrah. Aromas of violet, lavender and berry abound from the glass. This wine is rich and concentrated with flavors of wild berry, white pepper and spice with just a shade of the varietal funkiness adding subtle nuances throughout. This is a flashy wine, full of flavor, which expands on the palate and continues to grow through its lengthy finish.

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.
