Return to Wine Shop 2009 Syrah
The 2009 growing season was a time of water conservation due to the serious drought conditions the state was enduring. For this reason the vines were stressed a bit, which in turn resulted in highly concentrated flavors in their berries. After harvesting the grapes, they were cold soaked for 48 hours in a stainless steel fermenter to help with flavor and color extraction prior to inoculation. Once dry, this wine was drained, pressed and then aged in French oak (33% new) for 17 months. The 2009 Syrah is a complex, full-bodied wine showing an inky deep purple hue. Aromas of pepper, violet, raspberry, intertwine with cedar, blackberry and toasted oak. The earthiness on the palate mingles nicely with all the dark fruit characters. The finish lingers with deep black fruit, mocha and violets. This wine pairs well with grilled mushrooms and meats, such as, barbeque spare ribs, sausages, and peppered steaks. The wine is showing well in its youth and can be expected to age well for 6-10 years.
