Syrah, Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: The grapes for our 2003 Star Lane Syrah were picked very ripe, and then gently destemmed and cold-soaked at 55 degrees for 3 days prior to a warm fermentation. The must is pumped over 3 times daily with aeration. At dryness, the must is heated to 95 degrees for 3 to 5 days to extract as much tannin and phenolic matter as possible and then drained to barrel. Only the free-run wine is included in the Star Lane Syrah. The wine is aged for 16 months in 25% new French oak. Our 2003 Star Lane Syrah was bottled unfined and unfiltered.
