Syrah, Los Lobos

Syrah, Los Lobos Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: Like its predecessors—concentrated, almost jammy raspberry fruit with earthy notes and black pepper. This brash fellow parks on the red curb, yields the right of way only when he feels like it, voids where prohibited, and refuses to wear a necktie in court. Serve with something brazenly spiced.

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.
