Syrah or Shiraz is a dark-skinned grape grown throughout the world and used primarily to produce powerful red wines.
The grapes came from my vines,
syrah 2010
the cherries from Hood River Oregon.
the lees is from a previous batch of wine, Kahlua- a coffee and vanilla bean wine,
It will be interesting to see if you can taste all the flavors in this red wine.
