Syrah, Morgan Winery

The name 'G17' refers to one of Monterey County's best known route, linking several of our grape growing appellations.

The wine was fermented in open top tanks and received daily punch-downs. This enabled optimal extraction and structure development, while maintaining elegant tannins. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to French oak barrels. The 20% new oak gives the wine subtle spice and vanilla characters, without overpowering the elegant fruit profile.

This Rhone-style blend has a garnet color highlighted with purple edges. Aromas of brambly black fruit, raspberry hard candy, and hints of savory spice jump out of the glass. The wine is medium-plus bodied with crisp acidity, offering flavors of purple fruits and smoked meat. Its weight and balance make it a perfect pairing with anything off the grill.
