Gilbert Cellars Allobroges Syrah 08

2006 Vintage Tasting Notes

Syrah (60%) Grenache (22%) Mourvedre (18%) - medium to full bodied - sweet berry plum cherry with a hint of incense oak.

Special sale price- was $24.

Bright aromatics, luscious texture and pure fruit arise from this Rhone-style blend from four vineyards in the Columbia Valley. Syrah and Mourvedre from the Olsen Vineyard add richness to the palate, red cherry flavored Grenache from Ciel du Cheval Vineyard and the winery's estate Sunrise Vineyard brighten the finish and enhance the aromatics. Syrah from the winery's estate adds fleshy dark cherry fruit for a decadent ending. Rhone Style Blend - Embodying the essence of the Rhone, the 2006 Allobroges blends Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre into a sumptuous glass of wine. Easy drinking with gobs of ripe black fruits with just a tinge of saddle leather. Finishing long and smooth. - Earl
