Product Description:

"Sourced from six Mendocino County vineyards, the 2003 Meyer Family Cellars Syrah demonstrates this great variety's potential for elegance and complexity when produced from cool-climate fruit. This wine displays high-toned, wild berry and cherry characteristics, typical of Mendocino, along with varietal aromas of blueberry and white pepper. Firm, bright acidity balances the Syrah's ripe fruit and rich mouthfeel. Two years' barrel-aging in 50% new American oak has helped soften and integrate the tannin structure, while contributing sweet vanilla and a subtle spiciness to its complex aroma. Our 2003 Syrah reflects the family's tradition of producing elegant, food-friendly wines." -Winery
