Boordy Chesapeake Icons Syrah

The boldest of our Icon reds, this rich wine has aromas of figs, clove, and humus, with a touch of earth and black currants on the palate. Syrah is the backbone of the wines of the Rhone Valley of France, and is the signature red grape of Australia where it is known as "Shiraz". We seek to give full expression to Syrah's deep purple color, savory aroma and rich flavor through our winemaking techniques, resulting in a powerful statement that is best matched at the dinner table by a steak right off the grill. A raucous bistro wine when drunk young, Boordy Syrah's tannic structure develops a velvety finesse with cellaring.
