Description:
Syrah is one of the noble grape varieties of France. This grape originated in the Fertile Crescent, and migrated west to France. Syrah was established in the Rhone when Caesar’s Legions marched into Gaul. Syrah loves the warm summers of Calaveras County, and here produces an inky dark wine rich with spice.

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.
