SYRAH 2020

December 2024 Red Wine of the Month
Ranked as the world’s sixth most planted wine grape, Syrah has thrived in the Rhône Valley of France for thousands of years. Its versatility has made it equally successful in regions such as Australia, South Africa, and the United States, particularly in the Columbia Valley of Washington State and the Lodi Valley of California.

The renowned climate and fertile soils of the Lodi Valley provide ideal conditions for producing vibrant Syrah wines with ripe fruit aromas, floral notes, and smooth, round tannins.

Our exclusive 2020 Lynfred Winery Syrah embodies these characteristics, offering a rich and flavorful experience. Pair this exceptional vintage with bacon-wrapped dates, pepper-crusted steak, or your favorite charcuterie selection for a perfect culinary match.
