Syrah

26610 visitors

Wines made from Shiraz are often quite powerfully flavoured and full-bodied. The variety produces wines with a wide range of flavor notes, depending on the climate and soils where it is grown, as well as other viticultural practices chosen. Aroma characters can range from violets to berries, chocolate, espresso and black pepper. No one aroma can be called typical though blackberry and pepper are often noticed. With time in the bottle these primary notes are moderated and then supplemented with earthy or savory tertiary notes such as leather and truffle. Secondary flavor and aroma notes are those associated with several things, including winemakersâ€™ practices, and terroir.

More information on Syrah

Food Pairing: Pairs well with grilled and barbecued meats, pork and venison, or fish and poultry that are very light on sauces. Nice with a hunk of rustic bread and olive oil.

2006 Syrah
Alder Springs Vineyard, Mendocino County

The 2006 seems to be a bit more generous on the palate than the previous two vintages from this vineyard. Once again this wine is not about power; its beauty is in its finesse and ...moredepth of concentration without coming across as overbearing. A cross between the luscious 2003 and sexy 2002, this wine is uncharacteristic of the 2006 growing season at this early point in time.

2004 Syrah
Richards Family Vineyard, Sonoma Valley

Planted on a hillside overlooking the Sonoma Valley to the east and Sonoma Mountain to the south, this 3.5 acre vineyard is covered in a series of Sonoma volcanic soils amongst out ...morecroppings of bedrock as large as Volkswagens. This former Lavender farm was replanted to Syrah in the late 90's. Remnants of the Lavender farm exist as a purple flowered perimeter to the vineyard and a Â½ acre block alongside the Syrah. The lavender is harvested in mid to late summer and sold to Williams-Sonoma for fireplace starter bundles. The Syrah is farmed to our meticulous standards and is typically one of the last vineyards harvested of all of our sites. The wine is medium to full bodied, outrageously perfumed, silky and sexy. Not all about power, this wine reminds us of a gorgeous, classically vinified Cote Rotie. At this point barrels of this wine are divided between Cuvee's Christine, Keltie and Moriah. All three of these wines benefit from the outrageous perfume that this wine offers. Bottled on it's own it is true exotica! This wine was fermented 100% whole cluster and aged in a combination of new & used French Oak barrels for 36 months without even a single racking. Throw a rack of Lamb on

2000 Syrah, The Window

Red Car's debut release is called The Window. It is 100% Syrah blended from selected parcels of the San Marcos Vineyard in Paso Robles and the Colson Canyon Vineyard in Santa Maria ...more. The San Marcos fruit was picked at 25.5 brix. It was practically bursting with wild blueberry, white pepper and hickory smoke. The Colson fruit came in at a lower 24 brix, but zesty and firm and with the snap of a fresh Gravenstein apple. The Window has loads of rich fruit, smoke and spice with a racy, bracing acidity. It is drinkable upon release but should evolve stylishly for 5 to 7 years. It spent a year in barrels made for the Grand Vin at Chateau Margaux.

2006 Syrah, Speakeasy

Speakeasy is our â€œcoolestâ€ wine so far â€” in its climate, fruit, and style. It is dominated by cooler climate flavors because over 70% of its grapes hail from true cool climat ...moree regions. This evolving style is the result of trying to produce more sophisticated and graceful syrah. The lush tastes of wild Maine blueberries, Ranier cherries, licorice and Kona coffee are balanced and refined. The percentage of new oak has been lowered, too, allowing the mouthfeel to be linear yet silky. Scents of crushed peppercorn, fresh grass, and clove come off the nose with a hint of orange rind. Elegance has spoken.

2005 Syrah, Shake Rattle Roll

We are thrilled with Shake Rattle Roll because its uncanny balance on the surface belies a deep concentration of flavors. The color is inky purple yet the initial presence on the p ...morealate is one of harmony. Then it explodes with a sweet blackberry liqueur mixed with acacia flowers, espresso and barbecue sauce. More balanced than earlier vintages, it showcases the evolution in our winemaking style.

2005 Syrah, The Fight

The 2005 The Fight is a mighty wine. It packs a wallop with blackberries, blueberries and tar. The layers of leather, beefsteak, and cherry cola make it complex and impactful. The ...moreviognier gives it lift and vibrancy. Hints of cedar come off the nose. Decant for indulging now or cellar it until the next round. Goes well with big game.

2004 Red Wind

The 2004 Red Wind is the next vintage of our Trolley Series. We call it Red Wind after the hot, dry off-shore winds that periodically blast Los Angeles. It is thick purple to the r ...moreim of the glass. The aromas are wild blueberries and violets. It literally explodes in the mouth with blue and black fruit flavors, giving oneâ€™s palate the sense of a sweet, round center held together by a vibrant acidity.

It serves well with savory, indulgent foods like Kurobuta pork or bacon-wrapped figs. Not for lightweights.
