Description:
A first nose of white pepper and spice reveals aromas of berries with black cherries, violet and a hint of smoke. Ripe red and black fruit flavours are supported by quality tannins and integrated French oak. Going beyond the boundaries f the Meritage blend, the addition of Syrah contributes elegance and added complexity to this wine.

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.
