This inaugural release of our 2004 Estate Syrah is an exceptional example of perfectly made Syrah from Temecula Valley. Grown on our Estate Vineyard here at Thornton, the fruit was hand selected and picked at optimum maturity, lightly crushed and fermented using state of the art temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to retain the rich fruit flavors that show so brilliantly in this wine. Dusty berry and black cherry aromas, with a touch of white pepper entice the most discerning oenopohile to quickly tilt the glass. The aromas are quickly followed with an unmatched richness of massive plum and anise flavors that are perfectly balanced with a soft backbone of silky tannin structure and multi-faceted cocoa and berry fruit nuances.
Wine Pairing Suggestions Grilled or barbecued foods, halibut with
capers, olives and diced tomatoes. Rotisserie chicken marinated
in herb vinaigrette.
