Cliff Creek Syrah Wine Details
Price: $30.00 per bottle

Description: 2003 Cliff Creek Syrah The 2003 Syrah has enticing aromas of blackberries, spices and herbs. It is full-bodied and rich with flavors of chocolate and berries. There are great depths and concentration with a long finish. The bold, but sweet tannins will soften with time. This is an ageworthy wine..

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.
