Description:
This Syrah is a dark ruby purple color. The nose is of big plummy fruit, a pure expression of the vineyard with tons of Syrah varietal character. The wine shows layers of aromas and flavors. Nice complexity of fruit with a roasted, warm, savory spice note. In the mouth it is rich and ripe, very smooth across the palate, yet vibrant and lively at the same time. An exciting wine with great length and balance. Salut!

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.
