Our Shiraz (aka Syrah) is from California’s magnificent Central Coast region, a prime location for this noble grape variety originating in France’s Rhône Valley. The wine’s fresh blackberry and cherry aromas are enhanced by floral, pepper and wood spice notes, while its lush dark fruit, vanilla and toasted oak flavors culminate in a soft, supple finish.
The Shiraz displays aromas of black cherry and currants with hints of vanilla and toasty oak. Lush dark berry and plum flavors combined with full tannins lead to a lasting finish. The Shiraz pairs nicely with braised and roasted meat dishes.
