Description:
Dark, dense and full-bodied. Created in the French style, our 2002 Syrah is fruit forward, peppery and lush. Nicely balanced with firm tannins and acidity, the intense plum, blackberry and black cherry flavors linger through the long, polished finish. (2002 Syrah) Medal Winner at Seattle Wine and Food Festival 2004, Wine Spectator Rated 87 points. Outstanding from Wine Press Northwest.

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.
