Clay Station Shiraz

Clay Station Shiraz Wine Details
Price:

Description: Shiraz is also known as Syrah. It is the same grape and appears under either name depending on the winery. With a warm growing season in Lodi in 2003, the Syrah matured fully and to its optimum. The wine was fermented at warm temperatures in small batches using gentle techniques that maximized color and flavor extraction without adding bitterness. The addition of Petite Sirah and Cabernet created additional depth and complexity, while a touch of Malbec enhanced the smooth character of this bold wine. This Shiraz is a big, full-bodied red wine with aromas of plum, spice and hints of violet. With layers of complexity, this wine reveals flavors of dark plums, white pepper and a hint of earth framed by toasty notes of vanilla. The wine has both concentration and elegance, and the finish lingers with velvety, mouth coating tannins.
