Description:
Intense and elegant. From its deep crimson red color to its complex aroma of black fruits (red currant and blackberry) and toasted coffee with notes of white pepper and oak, this is a wine that dominates. Of full body and texture, it is sensuous on the palate with a smooth finish, long and memorable.
The intense flavor of this wine recommends that it be served with heavy dishes including game (wild boar, venison and goose), but it is versatile enough to be served with grilled beef, turkey cassoulet or such cheeses as English Stilton or Spanish Manchego.

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.
