2005 Alamos Syrah
Winemaker's Notes

Fact Sheet

Of a dark brilliant red-violet color, this wine offers elegant aromatics of ripe plum and red berry fruit laced with leather, tobacco and spicy black pepper hues. On the palate, an initial sweetness leads to a natural, well-balanced acidity of refreshing fruit flavors and soft round, tannins that provide wonderful silkiness and length.
