Syrah

Syrah Wine Details
Price: $22.00 per bottle

Description: The 2003 Syrah is a excellent example of how rich and full red wines from Paso Robles can be. This vintage is lush with ripe berry flavors and a toasty vanilla bouquet. Enjoy this wine with your favorite hearty meal or while relaxing on (or dreaming about) the Central Coast with its wind-swept shores, foggy moods, dramatic vistas and spirit that engages the soul.

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.
