A beautiful aroma with ripe raspberry and intense dark red plums with a hint of orange peel. It is deep, robustly fresh and well-structured on the palate with perfect mouth-watering acidity.
This Syrah is a co-ferment of Syrah and Viognier. One of the primary reasons for using Viognier with Syrah is that Viognier enhances the color of the Syrah. The Viognier does not dilute the Syrah, it complements the wine in both color and flavor. Viognier has a beautiful floral aroma along with tangerine and peach notes that enhances the aroma of Syrah that can include plum, cigar box, black pepper, smoked meat and bacon fat. On the mouthfeel, Viognier provides the Syrah with a silkier mouthfeel.
This is a mouthwatering Syrah that will pair well with any of your favorite meat dishes. The wine exhibits notes of black cherry and plum with hints of coriander followed by cedar plank smoked meat. The wine has firm tannins and the fruit finishes deliciously exhibiting a dark chocolate component as well. Dark chocolate covered cherries come to mind when enjoying this wine.
The "Argument" resulted from an exchange of two divergent winemaking views. It was settled by blending 66% Petite Sirah and 34% Syrah when initially barreled and aged in new French oak for 24 months.
This red blend is rich, ripe and bold. Dark cherry, with a bright snap of acidity, this wine then dives onto the palate where molasses and cinnamon linger into the finish. 63% Zinfandel, 18% Barbera, 11% Petite Sirah, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Syrah
