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

The Rhne Valley's rich winemaking tradition is the muse behind our opulent red blend, The Odyssey. With classic floral and anise aromas, this wine boasts fleshy dark fruit and a smoky, muscular character. The blend's supple flavors, structure and epic depth will allow this wine to evolve over the next decade. 60% Syrah, 25% Grenache & 15% Mourvedre Palisades & Stagecoach Vineyard

Syrah driven aromatics of grilled meats, violets and licorice and enhanced with a deep base of moist dirt and jammy, spicy strawberry tones. This is too sweetly fruited to be mistaken for a Rhone wine but it certainly shares certain traits, stony notes, soil, leather, and aromatic woodsy tones all contributing to a very complex bouquet. Relatively light bodied with a nice foundation of very fine, very ripe tannins. The flavors are great, fresh and fruity with gentle leather and game notes over spice and herb notes. The tannins pop out read more...a bit on the finish, which has hints of candied orange peel and bitter herbs on the finale 90pts    (hide)
