Syrah Estate Grown, Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: Syrah as it's known in Europe, South America and the USA is also known by Shiraz in Australia and Canada. Syrah can show powerful floral scents with blended with berries, chocolate, espresso and black pepper. With proper aging a refreshing layoring of flavors emerge that are earthy with savory hints of leather and white truffle. Our Syrah exhibits an earthy nose that is lifted by aromas of cedar and violet. Eyes reminisce about its deep purple color while soft tannins induce a velvet smooth mouth feel.

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.
