$45.00 per bottle
Description:
A blockbuster syrah with an opulent, rich, mouthful of blackberries, the kind that grow wild all over Santa Cruz County, but with a shade of pepper on the finish. The nose recalls a sizzling backyard grill sweeping into the living room. A pleasing bit of humidor comes through as well. Give it time to open up and it'll surprise

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.
