Description: Ruby center, raspberry edge. Soft aromas of raspberry, tea leaf, peppery leather, and spice make this the most elegant and classic L'Aventure syrah to date. Delicate berry and violet flavors are buyed by licorice and pepper on the palate. This wine will be a welcomed foil to grilled veggies and fish, as well as to barbecued chichen. It's heaven with mushroom risotto!

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.
