Description:
"Dark red / purple color. An exotic aroma of almost tropical fruit (papaya), plum cola berry and spice. The wine is very rich with well rounded tannins and loads of ripe red fruit such as red currant, sour cherry and plum. Oak takes a back seat to the fruit that adds some subtle spice, especially on the finish, where a chocolate mocha note comes through. This wine will be at its best in 2 to 7 years." - Marco DiGiulio

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.
