Sonoma County Syrah

Sonoma County Syrah Wine Details
Price: $25.00 per bottle

Description: Ladi’s Vineyard Syrah is located in a small valley between four famous Sonoma County appellations. Chalk Hill to the north, Bennett Valley to the south, Sonoma Valley to the east and Russian River to the west; a region of cool mornings and warm afternoons that produces noble Syrah of the sophisticated Rhone style with an appealing perfumed fruit.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
