$23.95 per bottle
Description:
Ruby slipper appealing at first glance, sweet spice markedly dominates this 2001 Reserve, Limited Release Syrah. Aged in new French and American oak, our 2001 Reserve, Limited Release Syrah has a deep smoky character with white pepper and allspice notes not only on the nose, but also on the palate and finish.
A stunning Syrah, this wine’s fruit delivers wonderfully deep and juicy blackberries, black toast, vanilla, and black cherries on the palate, with flavors of butter, currants and a touch of mocha and molasses on the finish. Enjoy this wine with barbequed tri-tip, grilled portabella mushrooms, or a hearty beef stew

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.
