Syrah
Syrah is a regal grape. Grown in Europe since at least the 1st century, this grape has history and staying power. The strong aromas and expressive notes that naturally come from the fruit have led to it being grown all around the world for the past two millennia. Every time you drink a Syrah it should be a full sensory experience. This wine was made with the finest fruits in the Campo de Borja region of Spain, all grown on old vines. Rich and round, with spicy floral notes this wine is a joy to drink. The blackberry and pepper play off of one another and lead to a smooth finish. We think it is the perfect pairing for grilled lamb chops. Judges love it too! It took home a silver medal at the 2018 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge and 90 points and a Gold from the 2018 Monterey International Wine Competition!

WINE REGION:
![Outline of Campo de Borja](https://images.firstleaf.com/taxons/1817/normal/Spain.png?1616010618)
Campo de Borja
Located near Spain’s northwest coast, Campo de Borja is famous for developing the art of Spanish winemaking, with monasteries tending vineyards since the 1100s. There are few places on Earth that can produce so wide a range of grape varietals as the Campo de Borja, famed for both red and white wines. Nestled in the Ebro River Valley, white wines such as Viura and Chardonnay that would ordinarily wilt in the region's harsh summers thrive thanks to the cooling winds coming down from the Moncayo mountain range.

Black Cherry
Intense fruit on the attack with notes of rich and ripe black fruits and cherry. From the first sip, the wine is rich and round with ripe black fruits and spicy floral notes. It's full-bodied with a lingering finish. This wine will work well with lighter proteins and tomato-based sauces.
