Winemaker Notes
Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
Flourishing today along the shores of Lake Erie, the Ohio wine industry dates back 300 years when it was established by American Republican politician, Nicholas Longworth of Cincinnati.
Ohio’s continental climate supports native American grape species as well as the common Vitis vinifera wine producing species, and hybrids of the two.
