Description:
We carefully selected the grapes for our Edna Valley Vineyard 2004 Syrah from some of the best vineyards in this remarkable growing region. The grapes were handled carefully to capture the essence of the fruit, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and then aged in a selection of small oak barrels.
The 2004 Edna Valley Vineyard Syrah displays black cherry and blackberry flavors, complemented by smoke, white pepper and vanilla notes. It has a full, viscous mouthfeel with medium tannins, and a long caramel and coffee finish. Delicious when paired with leg of lamb, duck and venison.

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.
