Wine Details

$13.00 per bottle
Description:
The delicious forward flavors found in cool-climate Syrah are evident in this bottling from the Santa Rita Hills. We find the flavor from cool climate Syrah to be “front end loaded” with a burst of luscious berry fruit easing to spicy complexity as opposed to warm-climate Syrah with its ripe, jammy flavors weighted toward the back of the mouth.
This grape is one of very few that allows the winemaker to make a very good wine in different climatic settings. Naturally, this attribute makes Syrah a good choice for “brown bag” tastings amongst friends to determine which style is favored.
Winemaker Bruce McGuire selected young vines growing in heavier soils to craft a easy to drink Syrah that shows off forward dark berry flavors and a hint of white pepper spice. Aging in neutral barrels enhances the vibrant fruit making this an easy wine to pair with grilled meats or wash rind cheeses such as Taleggio.
