Bold Syrah (70%), tempered with a touch of Grenache (30%) make this light ruby colored wine a flavorful choice. Flavors of white pepper, mountain strawberries and fresh cherries linger on the palate through a savory finish.
The 2016 Syrah from our backdoor vineyards at 3 Horse Ranch in the Eagle Foothills AVA (Winegrowing Appellation) is perhaps the finest wine we have produced to date. 2016 was an excellent vintage for Idaho, with near perfect growing and harvesting conditions. The fruit came in fully ripe, with well developed elegant tannins. This Syrah was partially matured in New French Oak, to add to its mouthfeel, finish and cellar life. This wine is drinking spot-on now, but will continue to gain complexity for the next five to ten years! Do what we do at the Ranch: Pull the cork and put it to use! Also, Idaho Syrah really makes the meal for ANY season, with notes of pepper, allspice, currants, licorice, smoked meats and leather!

The Syrah black fruit tones of plums, currants and blackberries are present and The Mourvèdre element is strong this year, bringing vibrancy and power. It's firmly savoury, very dry and dramatic. .The vineyard notes of earth, straw, mushrooms, and stone minerals are more recognizable with maturation in the cellar. The pepper, allspice, cloves, cedar, nutmeg and oak tannins all perfectly complement. This wine keeps on giving and giving! It still remains as one of the standout fan favorites at the tasting room, for seasoned veterans and wine newbies alike! Dress up your next dinner or evening with this elegant, seductive wine from the Eagle Foothills.
Mourvedre - Known as Bandol in France and Alicante in Spain, this meaty wine has lots of tannins that act as counter point to rich food pairings. Love Cabernet Sauvignon? Try Mourvédre!
