SOLD OUTStolo 2013 Syrah

Only Stolo Family Estate-grown fruit was included for this French-style varietal. The cool climate grapes produced a delicate, really pretty wine with high acidity. It is deep inky violet in color and features aromas of cured meat, asphalt and cracked pepper. Your palate will recognize boysenberry, dried lilac, black pepper, lavender and a hint of pencil lead. The finish is, deep, round and lingering.

Pair this 2013 Syrah with stuffed eggplant with lamb and pine nuts or smoky glazed ham with red pepper, ziti with mushrooms, caramelized onions and goat cheese. Additional cheeses are Gouda, sharp cheddar and blue cheeses.
