2006 Syrah (Crimson Hill Vineyard)
This was the first vintage at our new estate winery. The wine exhibits aromas of concentrated ripe blueberry, mocha, and Herbs de Provence. The rich fruit flavors consist of layers of sweet plum and blackberry, with a touch of vanilla. This full structured wine calls for heavier or rich faire such as smoked chicken alfredo or barbequed ribs.

Syrah (Crimson Hill Vineyard) Wine Information
The grapes were gently de-stemmed and then fermented in numerous small open top vats using multiple yeasts. The vats were either punched down twice daily until fermentation subsided or were fitted with screens to hold the skins under the fermenting wine for the duration of the fermentation. The finished wines were all kept separate and aged in selected barrels until the final blend was decided just prior to bottling.
