WINEMAKER'S COMMENTS
When this wine was pressed after fermentation it was sent straight to French oak barrels where it rested for over 40 months. There has been nothing added to this wine except for yeast and it was bottled the day after it was pumped out of barrels. Some of the best wine in the famous Cote Rotie region of France spends an extended amount of time in barrels. Our Syrah 40 was made to emulate these fantastic wines. TASTING NOTES Our Syrah 40 is not your typical high alcohol "fruit bomb" but is a very balanced wine that should continue to age gracefully. Bottle May 19, 2009. 295 cases produced. |
