"With severe cold weather during the winter, it took nature a little more time to come out of dormancy. The cane lengths of the vines were unusually short, as so was the crop. Berry size as well as cluster weights were low, producing small berries that increased both concentration and flavours. It was definitely a unique year for wine grapes growing, but the quality of the wine promises to be outstanding." - Winery Notes

Star Angel "Aurelio's Selection" Syrah 2007 Tasting Notes

This gorgeous Syrah based wine has a beautiful dark red / purple color. The up front nose is fruity and complex, condensed black berries, blueberries and black currant with a hint of well integrated French oak. Dense, rich and chewy on the palate; with a light toasty spiciness that adds elegance and complexity. Many layers make this wine intriguing!deep and persistent velvety finish.

Blend: Syrah 94%, Grenache 4%, Mouvedre 2%
