A vertical package featuring 4 vintages of Syrah from the renowned Rossi Ranch in Sonoma Valley.

Made from 100% Estate Syrah; the grapes are picked early and whole cluster pressed, the juice is then fermented in neutral oak and bottled after 6 months. Birght and crisp lots of strawberry and pink grapefruit notes. As always no residual sugar.

The new vintage again has Grenache as the dominant player, bringing acidity and cherry fruit, while Syrah adds richness and spice and Petite sirah (hence GSP) adds color and structure. The use of multiple varieties gives a level of complexity beyond just fruitiness and this allows it to match a wide variety of foods.

Extra time in the cellar has given this library release a sweet middle palate, softer, red fruit and the leather that is a hallmark of older Syrah. A wine for a special dinner and it should hold for another 3-4 years.

Our 3rd Estate Syrah is showing great balance between tannin and lots of red fruit to make for a very seamless wine.  Enjoy this wine with hearty meals and special dinners. With careful cellaring it should also be keep for another 10 years.
