Description: Our First Estate release of Syrah is very deep purple in color. Flavors of blackberry and plum along with currant, and spice. Tannins are full and rich so this wine will age very well! Aged in French oak for 12 months. The finish shows a nice touch of toasty oak. 338 cases produced.

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.
