Soft-handed approach to the grape that mirrors the Valdiguie. Pleasant game and spice--while not overpowering the fruit. Kudos to whatever fine Gentleman that's bringing this to CO. 2013 vintage. — 10 years ago

Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 10 years ago

“The 2009 Ramey Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard… offers up knockout aromatics of blackberry, salted meats, wild herbs, and pepper on the nose. This is followed by a full-bodied, classically styled and structured Syrah that possesses a concentrated, yet elegant feel, integrated acidity, and blockbuster length on the finish.”
- Jeb Dunnuck, The Rhone Report, March 2013

Our Syrahs are grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast, which offers a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhone regions of Hermitage and Cornas. The Rodgers Creek is co-fermented with 9% Viognier and 25% whole grape clusters, leading to aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit. After two to two and a half years in 100% new French oak barrels sur lies, it is lightly fined with egg whites for greater suppleness and bottled without filtration. — 11 years ago

Another tasty bottle from Aaron Burt Cidery. Apples and Finger Lakes grapes. Co fermented. Tangy grapey appley goodness - lighter and more elegant than you might expect of a cider. — 11 years ago

"Dark red cherries, plums, new leather, smoke and game explode from David Ramey's 2012 Syrah. Intense and voluptuous to the core..."
- Antonio Galloni, Vinous,

Our Syrahs are grown in the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast, which offers a style reminiscent of the Northern Rhone regions of Hermitage and Cornas. The Sonoma Coast is co-fermented with 6% Viognier and 25% whole grape clusters, leading to aromas and flavors of smoked meat, white pepper, green olive and grapefruit, coupled with a silky texture and savory flavor. After a year and a half in barrel sur lies, it is lightly fined with egg whites and bottled without filtration. — 11 years ago
