Description:
Beautiful jewel-like purple color with exceptional clarity, combined with great aromas and a long, smooth mouthfeel. The nose shows typical earthy Syrah notes bolstered by crushed raspberry and ripe plum. In the mouth, the wine is supple and balanced, showing flavors of cherry and spice with a hint of soft, vanilla-toned oak on the finish.

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.
