Quail Series Syrah

Quail Series Syrah Wine Details
Price:

Description: Syrah is a rising star in Washington State. Our rendition is dark, soft and spicy, with a nose of dark berry fruits augmented by hints of smoky oak and chocolate. Its rich, plum and cherry flavors are smooth and mouth-filling, balanced by supple tannins and a long finish.

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.
