Syrah

Syrah Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: This big red is 100% Syrah and unfiltered. It truly shows the big bold flavors of the Syrah grape. We pair this wine with hearty meat dishes and it’s a great match with a decadent orange chocolate truffle dessert. This wine can be enjoyed now and will continue to age well for several years.

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.
