Description:
r 2003 Syrah is a great accompaniment to full flavored dishes. It is dark ruby-purple in color, with dark, berry fruit aromas, ripe plums, orange rind and allspice scents. The palate is ripe and full, and loaded with fruit-forward flavors of French prunes, wild game, and spicy oak. This wine will pair well with hearty fare such as steak, roast duck and pecorino cheese. It will age well for the next decade.

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.
