Blue Cellar Syrah

The Vineyard

Only enjoyed by a small circle of friends over the past 4 years, this is our
first bottling available to the public of our hand-crafted 100% Syrah Rose.
Produced using the classic Saignée method for Rosé wine from the juice of
our “Truchard Vineyard” Syrah grapes, this delightful wine enthralls you
with its complex balance of acid and fruit. We hope you enjoy this wine
as much as we have over the years… Only 70 cases were produced.

The Grape

Composition 100% Syrah, Appellation Napa Valley “Carneros”, Vineyard
Truchard, Harvest Brix 25.0, pH 3.78, TA .38 g/l, Alcohol 14.1%.
Testing Notes
Don’t be fooled by this wine’s shy raspberry pink color – this is a rose to
take seriously. Like its color, this wine will lure you in with aromas of red
raspberries and bunches of fresh picked herbs. The raspberry theme
carries over onto the palette, with a crisp acidity and modest but welcome
tannins. The flavors deepen with an added finish of light tobacco leaf.
A great barbecue wine, but only with friends who know how to appreciate
true Rhone style.
