California Syrah

Our Pepperwood Grove Syrah has been well-regarded for several years, and our 2007 vintage is no exception. This Syrah is a deep red-violet color, with expressive aromas of blueberry pie, jammy fig and bramble, and a hint of that classic pepper and leather syrah character. Juicy on the palate, blueberry and tart cherry flavors mingle with tobacco leaf and red currant. Tart fruit is well-balanced with chewy, soft tannins and dark secondary flavors, finishing powerfully with a touch of espresso and lingering aromatics. The depth and character of this Syrah make it an excellent every-day wine for the wine enthusiast.

This Syrah would pair well with wild game and venison, complementing the peppery flavors and soft tannins. A smoky pasta sauce made with pancetta or thick-cut bacon would also be savory enough to pair with this Syrah, and the aromatics of both the pasta sauce and the Syrah would meld beautifully.

The first wine made by Don Sebastiani & Sons, Pepperwood Grove represents old Sonoma to the Sebastiani Family. While every winemaking region has its own story, they all share a common way of life. Today, we source grapes from all over the world to find the best wine at the best price in order to spread that sense of place with families everywhere.
