Description:
This is a rich and multi-layered Syrah, with aromas of blueberry, cherry, cedar, spice, and a touch of mint. The wine has flavors of blackberry, black cherry, and white pepper with a hint of fresh herbs, framed by lingering fine tannins. A cool climate Syrah loaded with fruit that will unfold and develop over the years. A great match with classic Rhone dishes such as roasted lamb shank with white beans, sautéed venison, duck, or grilled portabella mushrooms.

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.
