Syrah

26611 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.

2001 Syrah

Shake things up a bit. This Syrah likes a little fresh air before coming out to play. The first trip around the block encounters a popsicle palate with earth spice (tarragon & mint ...more). Keep the pedal to the metal and the next lap is filled with amazing sweet vanilla, harvest spice and summer sausage! Itâ€™s an out right tailgate party! 13.5% Alc.

2002 Syrah
Paso Robles

Similar to the 2001 this Syrah wants about 45 minutes in a decanter before reaching the trail head.

2004 Syrah
California

Syrah is a fantastic grape to work with in the cellar. The deep red-purple color explodes and fascinates each time it is poured into a glass. Its origins stem from the RhÃ´ne Vall ...moreey. The cracked black pepper aromas complement the black cherry fruitiness of this vintage and make it a great match for grilled Salmon and sautÃ©ed vegetables served over pasta.
