Forgeron Cellars Syrah 07

This Syrah was sourced exclusively from the Boushey Vineyard. It is an intense wine which exudes aromas of blackberries and dark, dark cherries. Intense fruit flavors reveal a rich, well-balanced wine.

The first thing you notice is the inky, black color that fills your glass, followed by zesty blueberry and currant aromas with a hint of lilac blossoms. The fruit from Boushey Vineyard contribute rich, explosive blueberry flavors. Spice and cinnamon notes from an extensive barrel aging tantalize the palate. Tannins and acids intertwine nicely to frame an elegant, yet powerful mouth feel. The big structure of this wine will stand up to any roasted meat. Our favorite would be a roasted leg of lamb with fresh rosemary and whole garlic cloves. This wine will also pair nicely with roast beef accompanied by assorted herbed roasted vegetables.
