Syrah
2003
The 2003 Syrah is from Tanner
Vineyards, known for their fine grapes. The wine is full-bodied, fruity, smooth
and was so good this year that we did not blend it with any other variety. It
has a marvelous structure and mouth feel by itself. You will find up-front fruit,
a nice middle and a smooth, interesting finish. The wine contains aromas and flavors
of cherry and berry with a hint of spice, and vanilla. Drink the wine now or lay
it down to smooth out the tannins even more. We recommend this wine with any heavy
meal such as good barbequed steak. $28.00
