Description:
With the 2003 harvest occurring late in October, the 2003 Edna Valley Syrah benefited greatly from the extended hang time. This is our top-of-the-line Syrah, packed with bold cherry and berry flavors, complex herb notes and just the right amount of pretty French oak.

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.
