Syrah Columbia Valley

Reserve Syrah Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $35.00 per bottle

Description: Welcome to our Syrah world. We are not making any excuses for this big bad boy. From the beginning it seemed to have a life force of its own. I told Corey he should have given the Reserve a little direction. But, Nooo! He said the wine could find its own way through this cruel world. Anyway, be prepared this wine may give you a grundy from the inside. Starts Big; Stays Big; Finishes Big. This vino is guaranteed to taste great with lamb shanks braised in Stained Tooth Syrah. Drink now or until it’s gone

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.
