Syrah

Syrah Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: "Luscious" is the word to describe this wine! Syrah 2002 is very dark ruby plum colour with aromas of raspberries, plums, and sweet ripe fruit. Flavours follow suit with dark fruit , raspberries and a hint of nutmeg. Very full-bodied and smooth, this wine has a long finish, with a crisp acidity. Absolutely scrumptious now, but another 2 years of cellaring would make this wine even better! We have found that Nichol Vineyard Syrah is similar to Hermitage syrahs, where 5 years from the vintage date marks a turning point when syrah really starts to open up and be ready to face the world. Enjoy with lamb, venison, a ragout of roasted root vegetables, rich cheeses, wild rice pilaf, and savoury pasta dishes.
