Wine Details
Price:
$35.00 per bottle
Description:
The rocky mineral laden soil of the appellation restrains Syrah's natural vigor, and this clone produces smaller clusters than most clones of Syrah elsewhere in the state. The wine coming from these vines is richly textured with blackberry, black cherry and black currant flavors accented with a touch of black pepper. Drink this nicely balanced Syrah now or cellar it and enjoy it over the next 2-4 years.

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.
