About This Wine
Syrah has long been the star of red Rhone wines in France, and the blockbuster Shiraz bottlings of Australia.
Now, in the United States, no red varietal is growing faster in popularity than Syrah. Its sales are rising each year, eclipsing the percentage rise in Zinfandel and Merlot. Granted, Syrah started from a smaller base, but there are signs that it’s just warming up to grab hold of the palates of American wine consumers and not let go.
Giving Syrah a big boost is an organization called The Rhone Rangers, consisting of wineries, growers and consumers dedicated to introducing and educating people to what fabulous wines American-grown Syrah can produce.
Syrah is packed with flavor, color and a tannin structure that’s built to last. It works well either as a single varietal — as in this featured selection from Addison Vineyards — or in complex blends. It has the historic credentials for fine winemaking, and today produces world-class wines, as the Addison rendition deliciously demonstrates.
About Syrah
Very dark, rich, powerful wines with great aging potential (as long as 50 years), yet still can be drunk relatively young. Distinct pepper, spice, cherry and leather flavors, with smooth, supple texture. Embodied in majestic wines from France, Australia and, increasingly, California.

Very light and lots of flavor. Enjoyed just having a glass while reading.
Full bodied, with a fruit finish.. enjoyed it before and during dinner..
Undrinkable - I couldn't even finish the one glass I poured. Tastes like a headache.
I really enjoyed this full-bodied wine. It is definitely worth a try.
Served the Syrah with guests last evening, the response was that it tasted like 'liquid gold'! They were highly impressed.

At least , "equal to" Robert Mondavi's various cabernets , if not superior ....
Wow - raspberry, strawberry and pepper. This wine is really good. I'm a little shocked by the price. Very good value.
Fantastic wine - had it with Lamb last night and it paired beautifully!
Enjoyed with lamb chops and mushroom risotto.
I loved it! smooth and enjoyable.

This Syrah ranked at the top of my scale for Syrah's. This is one smooth and gentle yet with powerful tastes and blends that tickle your palate. Excelent with grilled beef.
Very smooth with a nice finish.Exceptional wine at this price.Wife and I really enjoyed it.
Dark opaque purple color, extremely rich flavors with a little chocolate cherry aftertaste.
Was good with ou chicken dish. we ahd a glass after supper, was not a wine to drink without food.
During our recent "girls only cookie bake weekend" I provided this wine for our fondue dinner and everyone loved it and would like me to get more! The merlot I also brought was not raved about so much but still enjoyed.
