Description:
Harmony and balance distinguish this Syrah. Think of a bowl of berries and dark fruit. At one bite the impression of raspberries sticks with you. With another it may be Bing cherries, blueberries, cassis or blackberries. Ripe as it is, the aroma of white pepper, aromatic herbs and light smoke fill in behind the fruit. It has good texture on the palate where gentle tannic structure and acidity blend with the ample alcohol, to taste rich and full. The aftertaste is long and fruity.

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.
