005 Syrah ~ Tierra Alta Vineyard

005 Late Harvest Syrah ~ Tierra Alta Vineyard Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: John Belfy, who farms the Tierra Alta Vineyard, says this is the latest he has ever picked grapes in his 20 years as a grower - December 27th... (Can you say raisins?!). The fruit was picked at a potential alcohol of 19.5%, but we thought that might be a little excessive, so we stopped fermentation at 16.9% leaving 5% residual sugar. Look for nuances of chocolate and blackberries with a strong finish of dried prunes and sweetness.
