Syrah, Alexander Valley, 2005

Syrah, Alexander Valley, 2005 Wine Details
Price: $40.00 per bottle

Description: Life should be simple: balanced with work and responsibilities, and fun with family and friends. Imagine lying down in a field of lavender as you first take in the floral elements of our 2005 Alexander Valley Syrah. Now breathe deeply. The aroma is heady, sweet; you can almost hear the buzz of bees. Feel the sun on your face? In the Alexander Valley, the heat is strong, giving this wine the big, juicy flavors of ripe blackberries, tender blueberries, and just-picked raspberries. With the Franciscan soil type providing excellent drainage, we are proud to offer a wine of layered complexity, elegant balance, and impeccable structure. The fog that sneaks up the Russian River cools the Alexander Valley just long enough to give the fruit those spicy and earthy components you expect in a superior Syrah. It’s simply delicious. Enjoy this wine with roasted duck breast wrapped in bacon and served with wild rice and fresh, crusty bread in front of the fire with a glass of our Syrah. Swirl. Sip. Repeat. Relax. You deserve it.
