Description:
The 2003 GlenLyon Estate Syrah is, again, a classic! A complex wine, elegant, supple and harmonious with hints of red raspberries, cinnamon, cocoa powder and bittersweet chocolate with the fruit, tannins and alcohol in perfect harmony. This is a Big Wine, round and rich without being overbearing and is definitely worthy of aging.

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.
