Description:
What 14 months of barrel ageing helped do was soften the coarse tannins bringing the fresh fruit forward. The firm tannins are complexed with long lush fruitiness making a wine of substantial size. Aromas of raspberry and violet bounce around the palate until the depth of mouth feel brings flavors to finish. This wine is elegant, yet brave and is sure to bring daring foods to pair with the flavors of Syrah. Enjoy.

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.
