Syrah

This is a blend of 55% Syrah and 45% Carignan from the south of France.  Purple/ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has black raspberries and some black cherries along with spices.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good acidity.  On the palate, black cherries and black raspberries.  Moderate finish.  This is an easy drinking red that is probably better with some hearty food.  A good choice for a burger off the grill.  Drink over the next couple of years.  

This is a 60/40 blend of Grenache and Syrah from southern France.  Purple in color with ruby hues.  The nose is deep with black cherries, black raspberries, spices and slight anise.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, flavors of black cherries.    Solid finish.  This is drinking well now and should continue for another two to three more years.  It is nice on its own but probably better with food.  A nice choice for Pizza night (no Pineapple).
