Our ‘06 Aria’s Syrah is another selection from the Old Mill vineyard. This wine was crafted in a style that is reminiscent of the famous wines from the Cote Rotie region in the northern part of the Rhone River, France. It’s dark, smoky, gamey qualities are balanced by structure and perfume from the co-fermentation with approx 5% Viognier, and 50% of the stems retained.
Dark, exotic aromas of dark fruits, smoke, roasted meats, and violets. The palate shows ripe blackberry, black raspberry, dark currant, black olive, and spice, with rich, mouth coating tannins and a long, detailed finish. This wine was aged in French and Hungarian oak barrels, 25% new, and also bottled unfined and unfiltered. Drink from 2009-2020
