Wine Details
Price:
$15.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2000 Syrah has a definite black cherry component along with plums. In addition to the extracted grape concentrate flavors, which dominate the smooth and round mouthfeel, the presence of tar, leather, and a smokey toastiness imparted by barrels, contribute to the wines density. The wine will continue to age and mellow in the bottle. Again, you will see the use of the old label design.

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.
