Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
Ah, imagine a Mediterranean breeze ruffling olive leaves next to your villa in the south of France, as you sip a spicy red wine with flavors of blackberry, cassis, chocolate, and spice. Well, we can’t provide you with a villa but we did come up with a Petite Syrah that supplies these flavors and more. At this price, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better wine to go with southern Italian food, barbequed meats, or any other hearty rustic food.

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.
