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.

A blend of 86% Syrah and 14% Cabernet Sauvignon. On appearance the 2005 Syrah is the rich color of cassis. The first nose unveils bright red fruitcombined with spicy notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, and a touch of white pepper. After a swirl, thearomas of dark cherries and plums, along with the elegance of vanilla, violet and clove are apparent.On the palate, generous dark fruits and smoke mingle with the wine's soft and supple tannins toproduce a round, well-constructed wine. This wine will age for another three to five years, most likely reaching its zenith in 2009.
