Tasting Notes

The grapes for this Syrah are selected from vineyards in the Central Valley. The wine presents a deep red ruby color with elegant aromas of plum and blueberry. Juicy and persistent flavors of ripe black fruits and harmonious tannins, along with notes of coffee and smoke. It’s hard not to pour another glass of this addicting Syrah.

Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar (’08 vintage):
“Bright violet. Lively smoke, blackberry and cracked pepper aromas show a hint of reduction. With air this wine displays jammy dark berry character, with firm tannins adding grip. Finishes with good cut and slightly gritty tannins. This solid value delivers true syrah personality.” – Josh Raynolds (Mar/Apr 10)
