Gordon Brothers - Syrah 2006


I'm a huge fan of Syrah and wine's like this one are why. When you first pour this wine from the bottle, and see its deep dark purple-red color and smell its wonderful aromas, you know you're in for a real treat. With each sip dancing on your tounge, you're transported to Washington's Columbia Valley and dream of row after row of grapevines glistening in the sun shine.

We've had this wine before and it's on our favorites list. Its got big bold fruity flavors and a light bite. It pairs nicely with grilled meats and spicy foods like most of my favorite wines, so fire up the grill and enjoy this wonderful wine! I actually got some Mia's Pizza to go, and enjoyed it with that.. don't be jealous! We picked this up for $19.99 at Total Wine, and it's worth every penny.



COMPOSITION: 100% Syrah, Estate Grown
AGING: 24 months in French & American Oak

Winemaker Comments: This Syrah opens with aromas of olive, cocoa powder, and tea with hints of lavender floating in the distance. As the wine evolves in the glass, layers of fig and anise mix seamlessly with blueberries and cassis. A soft entry with firm tannins, one is greeted by flavors and cranberry and currants framed by black licorice. A lingering finish makes this a perfect dinner wine for grilled meats and braised vegetables.
