Tasting Notes:
Ruby red. Black cherry, currant and berry. Violet, spice, apple wood smoke and white pepper. Long lingering dry finish.

The Grape: Noble Syrah was originally perfected in the Rhone River Valley of France. More ancient origins are speculated to be in the Middle East.
The grape is very dark in color and when freshly crushed emits floral aromas. The vine is very vigorous and benefits from growing in poor soils.

The Vineyard: This wine comes exclusively from Frick's Estate Owl Hill Vineyard; Syrah was planted here in 1988. This tiny vineyard’s ground is rock, gravel and clay from decomposed Dry Creek Conglomerate soil. In this soil the vines have very low vigor and they produce a limited crop with distinctive, full, rich and classic Northern Rhone character.

The Wine: This wine is 100% Syrah. Reminiscent of Northern Rhone’s Cote Rotie with subtle fruit and red wine tannin. Classic elegant French character. A really lovely table wine.

Serve with: Duck confit, venison, sausage pizza, veal kidneys, pasta marinara, standing rib roast, gorgonzola. Drink now to 2017.
