Helix Syrah Columbia Valley

Helix Syrah Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: Blueberry sauce, fresh vanilla bean, and a sprig of lavender; if I didn’t know better, I can almost sense dessert coming at me. The luxurious mouth feel is settling me into my favorite wing-back arm chair as I savor the blueberry with Chinese plum sauce and the zest of orange. Mannnn…. I don’t want to stand up. I thinketh me arse is planted. Lets here it for the snail!

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.
