Del Rio Syrah 12 Pack (750 ml Bottles)
Opening with a spicy nose, featuring notes of licorice and dried fruit, our Syrah is plush and richly textured, delivering abundant flavors of raspberry, blackberry, and ripe plum. The velvety fruit is underscored with notes of black pepper, mocha and a sachet of Herbs de Provence framed by dense yet supple tannins. Enjoy now or cellar for future rewards. After de-stemming, the Syrah grapes are lightly crushed into stainless steel vats. When the fermentation starts, the wine undergoes methodical aeration at moderate temperatures to extract soft tannin and color. Towards the end of the maceration the pump over work is limited to nonexistent. Finally, when mouthfeel objectives are reached, the grapes are gently pressed and barreled down. Barrel aged for 14 months in French oak and American oak, of which 8% was new oak.
