Description:
Rhone varietals excel at Gamache Vineyards, and our 2003 Estate Syrah is no exception. Wild raspberries are joined by hints of plum and freshly ground spices on the palate. Soft yet supple, this complex wine is a true expression of what Washington State Syrah is.

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.
