Syrah Estate 2006

Awards, Ratings and ReviewsOutstanding!, Wine Press Northwest "Packed with blue and black fruits, flavors of smoked meat and fresh herb, it’s substantial but not overbearing. Give it some extra breathing time." - Paul Gregutt, The Spokesman-Review (May 2010) Full article Winemaker Tasting NotesThis Syrah is sourced exclusively from our estate Fault Line Vineyards in southern Oregon’s Umpqua Valley. This wine bursts with blackberry and white pepper aromas. The palate’s ripe cherry and candied black fruit overlies a rich and full-bodied frame that expands as the lengthy finish progresses. This wine will improve with proper storage for at least the next four to seven years. An intriguing food pairing would entail smoked salmon croquets with chanterelle mushrooms and black truffle oil Technical NotesFruit Source: Abacela’s Estate Fault Line Vineyards Appellation: Southern Oregon AVA Harvest date: 10 October 2006 Varietal Composition: Syrah (98%), Viognier (2%), co-fermented At harvest: Sugar; 25.8° brix pH; 3.77 TA; 6.14 g/L Cooperage: French (82%), American (18%), 9% new, 18% 2-yr old At Bottling: Sugar; Nil Bottling date: 10 July 2008 Case Production: 297 (750 mL) Alcohol: 14.5% by volume Release Date: 19 September 2009 S R P: $30.00 (750 mL) |
