Syrah

26056 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.

2005 Syrah

From the Estate Vineyard in Paicines, located at one of the highest and steepest points on the property, the Syrah block is planted in exceptionally well-drained decomposed granite ...more soils. This helps keep berry size minimal due to the limited water availability. The resulting fruit, dense in color and rich in tannins and flavor intensity, was fermented in small open-top tanks to extract every nuance from the berries and skins.

2007 Santa Cruz Mountains Syrah
Black Ridge Vineyard

These grapes come from a carefully tended hillside vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains near Los Gatos. The wine was barrel aged in French oak for 15 months to provide additional ...morestructure and balance. This is an excellent example of what a coastal climate Syrah should be.

â€œThe 2007 Black Ridge Vineyard Syrah exhibits intriguing aromas of blackberry and wild black cherries with layered notes of spice, chocolate, coffee and caramel. On the palate the wine shows its vibrant core of blackberry and raspberry that expand with well-proportioned flavors of molasses, nutmeg, and a touch of earthiness and French oak. The wineâ€™s firm, ripe tannins and juicy acidity will allow it to evolve and age graciously for many years.â€â€”GJ

2007 Livermore Valley Syrah
Madden Ranch

We are very excited about the Syrah grapes from John Madden's Livermore Valley vineyard. Madden Ranch has 20 acres of Concannon clone Syrah--one fo the oldest Syrah clones in Cali ...morefornia--all on 5BB rootstock. Located on the warmer eastern edge of the Livermore Valley, there are threee different vineyard blocks on the ranch, each with a different slope and aspect.

Grapes were harvested on September 21, 2007 and October 4, 2007 and each lot was taken to our winery where a 3 day cold soak was followed by yeast inoculation. The wine was aged in French oak for 15 months before bottling.

â€œFrom the deeply purple 2007 Madden Ranch Syrah aromas of blackberries and freshly roasted coffee arise, with tempting hints of caramel and molasses. Once tasted, the wine releases is flavors of ripe black fruit, dark chocolate and roasted meats with cracked black pepper, and a bit of clove and toasty oak. The Madden Ranch Syrah is a rich, mouth-coating wine with an abundance of palate pleasing tannins followed by the balanced acidity in the fruit laden finish.â€â€”GJ

2008 Fiery Nights - Syrah
Briarwood Estate Vineyard

Fiery Nights is our pure expression of Westside Paso Robles Syrah. From a single block of calcareous soil at Briarwood, it is comprised of clones 383 and Alban 2. This 100% Syrah i ...mores meant to highlight the layers and complexity of the varietal, as well as express how our terroir influences its character. Our proximity to the Pacific Ocean and the consistent afternoon flow of cool Templeton Gap breezes allows our Syrah to achieve characters of both a warm and cool climate. Seeking finesse over power, the fruit was hand picked in September at ideal ripeness and treated gently, including multiple hand sorting and whole berry fermentation. The resultant wine is balanced, complex, and pure, just as we wanted it.

The nose speaks of rich, juicy plums highlighted by baking spices, licorice and sweet ginger notes. The palate is round and balanced with good weight that avoids being heavy. Flavors mirror the aromas, with dark fruits taking center stage. To sum it up clearly, Fiery Nights is a wine with old world class and new world sass.

2007 Dry Creek Valley Syrah
Dry Creek Valley

This is a smooth rendition of a rich and spicy varietal. Black pepper and toasty oak characterize the aromas. Flavors by mouth include ripe cherry, pomegranate and dark chocolate, ...moredisplayed with intensity and fullness on the palate. The texture is round with a fine-grained finish. Sufficiently sturdy and substantial, this wine will hold up to rustic and spicy dishes. Ready to enjoy now with smoky barbequed brisket before the weather gets too brisk to tend to the back yard Weber; otherwise, present it in the winter months with a braised lamb and olives.
