Winter Fox 2017 Syrah California

Description

Peer through the trees of North America in midwinter, and if you are lucky you might catch a glimpse of red fur against the white and grey backdrop. That spark of color offers hope that there is life amidst the stark landscape. The Winter Fox Syrah presents an austere face but is actually lively, juicy, and delicious. We love the dark notes of vanilla, pepper, and cinnamon that play off of the dark fruit flavors. Long aging also gave it hints of mocha that sit alongside the oak. We recommend pairing this lively Syrah with rich dishes like beef stew, truffles, and roasted mushrooms. Judges loved the nuances as well and sent it home from the 2019 Denver International Wine Competition with a Gold medal!
