Syrah 2017

The Story:

As the Texas wine industry expands, we are proud to offer Texas Hill Country AVA Syrah.  In 2015, we blended Flat Creek Estate Syrah with a small amount of Petite Sirah from neighboring Hoover Valley Vineyards.  Vintage 2017 yielded exceptional quality fruit and in quantities large enough to gift us two 100% Estate Bottled Syrahs.  The Reserve Syrah that our club members have grown to love was sourced from our oldest Syrah vineyard in Helen's Block.  This non-reserve Syrah was sourced from Hilltop Block, a block dedicated specifically to Syrah.

The Tasting Notes:

Vintage 2017 yielded exceptional quality fruit and in quantities large enough to gift us two 100% Estate Bottled Syrahs. This non-reserve Syrah was sourced from Hilltop Block, a block dedicated specifically to Syrah.  It is a beautifully dark inky color with aromas of pomegranate and raisin.  There is a chalky minerality that tickles your nose and invites you back for another sniff.  The palate exhibits a lushness that you might expect from a California Zinfandel, but that is rarely present in the warm-climate wines of the Texas Hill Country.  Savor the raisin notes and intense tannins of this wine late into the night.
