What to Expect

Syrah: One of the few grapes to really be a global success. Syrah combines a meaty core of ripe berry fruit with tones that range from herbal to peppery in a package that tends to be medium bodied with good acidity and softer tannins. With age the wines can gain lovely leathery and black olive notes that make them a great match for savory and gamy dishes.

Winemakers Notes

A hearty-full bodied wine with a bright blackberry nose, turning to vanilla bean toastiness with French Oak showing through on the palate and a finish of rich pecan pie.

From the Beverage Testing Institute World Wine Championships:

85 Points. Silver Medal. Bright violet color. Aromas of mulberries, India ink, and cracked white peppercorns follow through on a silky entry to a dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body with baked apple, sautéed pepper, cedar, and spice notes. Finishes with a chewy, powdery tannin fade. (tasted on Jun-01-2009)
