Que Syrah Syrah!

Just in time for the holiday's, Early Wines has released a rich California Syrah.  This latest release benefits from the longest aging in our oak barrel to-date: two months in hungarian oak, with a handful of French oak chips added in the final weeks for extra character.  The sleek new label features Earl from his Thanksgiving photo-shoot.  Be sure to see the Label Archives for the backstory.
