Syrah

Syrah Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: The 2002 Syrah is garnet in color with just a hint of purple. It opens with an intriguing floral nose accompanied by smoke, molasses, forest floor, and lavender. Solid high tone fruit comes through on the palate with plum, raspberry cream, bright cherry, white pepper and dried orange rind. This medium bodied wine shows sound structure with full mouth feel, soft tannins, balanced acidity and a pleasingly long finish. This supplely textured Syrah will pair well with wild game, cassoulet, meat and strong cheeses. It is showing nicely now, especially when decanted, but will age well for another 5 – 7 years.
