Syrah

26682 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.

Alexander Valley Vineyards

2003 Syrah
Alexander Valley, California

Eighty miles north of San Francisco, the Alexander Valley is considered a warm winegrowing area, but with a crucial difference: in the evenings cooling winds flow into the valley t ...morehrough the Healdsburg Gap, giving the grapes a respite from the day's sun and concentrating their acidity and flavors. The Alexander Valley Vineyards Syrah takes full advantage of these conditions; this full-bodied wine has lots of blackberry, boysenberry, and black pepper aromas, while its light tannins and good acidity makes it a great food wine.
