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.

Rating: 91/100 - As reviewed by Wine & Spirits Magazine on 06/09 Reduced at first, this needs a day of air for the tarry extract to release a sleek, floral and luscious syrah. It's dense and smoky, a wine to decant hours before serving with grilled meats.

Winemaker Notes - The 2007 Boxcar Syrah is deeply concentrated yet beautifully weightless. Rainier cherries, purple pears, and Earl Grey tea with Bergamot unfold on the palate with intriguing complexity. Slight undertones of caramel and wild sage enliven the nose while rich dark fruits give the body curves. Garnet colored with a lavender halo, this Sonoma Coast syrah is a high-polished jewel.
