2005 Syrah

"Reckless Moment"
Paso Robles

The 2005 Syrah "Reckless Moment" comes from Margarita Vineyard, the southernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles appellation. Here, just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean, cool coastal breezes lengthen the growing season, resulting in Syrah with magnificent color, flavor and structure. The 2005 vintage begins with warm, toasty aromas of black cherry with hints of pomegranate and fig. The palate is broad and bright, unfolding with vivid flavors of blackberry, plum, blueberry and mocha. Soft tannins contribute structure to a long, elegant finish.

Enjoy this food-friendly wine with a wide range of medium-weight fare, including grilled pork chops, char-grilled chicken, spicy gourmet pizza, and pasta bolognese. It's also a great match for those reckless moments when you are enjoying life to its fullest.
