Fäsi Crest Syrah

Fäsi Crest Syrah Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: The wait is over. The award winning 2004 Fäsi Crest Syrah has been bottled and is ready for delivery. In the words of famous wine critique Wilfred Wong our wine is of deep ruby, blackish color; big, brawny aroma of bold black fruits and sweet oak nuances, very good depth of fruit, the wood is a bit much; full bodied, extract and tannic on the palate, good strucutre; dry, medium acidity, needs to be a bit livelier, good balance; bold, heavy ripe fruit flavors sit more than a shading of oak; medium finish, slightly rounded aftertaste. (Best Served 2007-2012)

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.
