Syrah Columbia Valley

Syrah Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Step aside and make room for our 2004 Syrah. Spicy cherries, bold jammy fruit, and a hint of moist earthiness come center stage in this 2004 Syrah. Its layers of complexity are backed up with exceptional acidity, mild tannins, and a lengthy finish that won’t soon be forgotten.

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.
