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

Winemaker's Notes: Big and Bold this Syrah has concentrated aromas and flavors of blackberry and licorice. Layered with pepper and smoke. A lush wine that pairs well with lamb, steak and ribs. The fruit from Ladi's vineyard never ceases to amaze us with the rich dense colors and flavors. Ladi is just a fantastic grower. We cold soaked this wine for 4 days and then let it sit on the skins after fermentation for an additional 3 days and this just enhanced the color and the textures of this wine. Technical Notes: Appellation: Sonoma County Varietal: Syrah Aging: 18 months in 2-3 year old French read more...
