Eponymous Syrah 2009
Overview
 |
The Eponymous Syrah has a attractive deep purple, garnet color of the wine leads to a complexity of aromas that hint of black pepper, rosemary and a touch of smoky, oven-roasted meat dripping character that is typical of the best Syrahs. The flavors follow the palate, with added spice notes. This full- bodied wine is well-balanced, with good weight and grip that glides evenly across the palate, finishing with pleasing flavors that linger. |
Wine Facts
Winemaker Notes
The grapes come from a relatively young vineyard east of the town of Napa, on Monticello Road. After picking, hand-harvested fruit was fermented with utmost care and the resulting wine was aged 9 months in 30% new oak (50% French and 50% American).
Serving Hints
Serve at room temperature with red meats, lamb, cheeses.
