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

Displays rich blackberry, cassis and sage spice aromas and flavors. The finish lingers from the ripe tannins and smoky oak. This full-bodied wine should be enjoyed over the next ten years. A traditional pairing for this wine is a leg of lamb marinated in rosemary and garlic. However, a peppercorn steak or mushroom risotto would work incredibly well.

Intriguing floral aromas and a grip of tannins amid the berries in this syrah. Will improve with age. Give it a year or so.

For the price, this syrah is fabulous. Tons of fruit, Zaca Mesa makes a very consistent Syrah. Berry, oak and vanilla.
