Syrah

25259 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 winemakers’ 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.

2004 Syrah
El Dorado County

Our Syrah was left on the vine for an extra six days to bring out the most ripe fruit flavor. We brought it in just before the flavors would have turned raisiny. The fermentation p ...moreroceeded slowly, and this results in more extraction from the skins. French oak barrels were chosen to accentuate the dark fruit flavors.




The aromas have a distinct caramel tone overlaying deep plum and cassis smells. There is a slight toasty character and some cedar in the nose as well. The flavors are full of intense black currant and black cherry. The barrels add some smokey accents and vanillin texture. This is a powerful wine that should continue to get better with time in the cellar.

2003 Syrah
El Dorado County

The 2003 Syrah is 100% Firefall Vineyard Syrah, located in the Fairplay Appellation. This is a west-facing slope that is fairly steep. The vines are quadrilateral cordon-trained. W ...moree harvested very small berries on small clusters. The fruit came in clean and the bins smelled of white pepper and berries.



The wine exhibits a dark purple color with slight brick around the edges. Intense aromas of violets, plums and cassis. Lots of licorice, tar and roasted black fruits emerge with time. Fruit tones are fairly developed with hints of leather creeping into the finish. This is medium, big bodied wine with enough weight to smooth out the cedar and leather-tinged finish.

2005 Syrah, Kalen's Big Boy Blend
Sonoma County

True to the spirit of its name, Kalen’s Big Boy Blend must have a big personality. That said, the cooler '05 vintage added a splash of refinement to this high-spirited bottling a ...mores well.



Inky dark in the glass, the nose offers up rich, black fruit, black and white pepper, a faint tease of eucalyptus and fertile earth tones. Then a sip unleashes dark cherry, pomegranate, black licorice and cola nut, all lovingly embraced by fine, sweet tannins. While a tad of patience will be handsomely rewarded, if you decide to open one sooner rather than later, a brisk decanting and a couple of hours on the table will enhance it’s youthful charms.

2005 Syrah, Dry Stack Vineyard
Bennett Valley

With our third vintage of Dry Stack Syrah we’re beginning to get a clearer picture of what this vineyard is all about. We’ve seen it hot ('03 & '04) and we’ve seen it cool (' ...more05) but certain characteristics shine through each year.



Aromas of cherries, dark plum and tobacco invite you in, followed by a palate of lively cherry infused with darker fruit undertones, a touch of smoky cedar and a silky, elegant mouthfeel. Delicious now (with 1-2 hours of decanting) the balance of fruit and acidity is delightful, making this a wine that should age wonderfully for years to come.
