2019 Yummy Syrah Port

2019 Yummy Syrah Port

We are excited for the first release of our new Estate Syrah Port. The grapes were grown in a new vineyard next to our winery on the eastern side of the Santa Clara Valley just east of Gilroy and is carefully tended by George and Lynda Green. They meticulously farm their vineyard to maximize quality. The 2019 growing season was outstanding the Santa Clara Valley allowing for a large crop with long hang time on the vine, giving intense and complex flavors. This velvety textured, dark colored dessert wine has dried flower petal aromas with hazelnut, sherry and briary red fruit in the nose. The silky tannins combine with sweet blueberry flavors to achieve a balance between tawny and ruby port styles. Enjoy this wine stand alone as a dessert or with some yummy blue cheese and walnuts.
