I opened a bottle of Tuscan Syrah the night I proposed to my wife. I thought it would pair well with the diamond ring I was about to present. The connection was the ring’s history. It was originally owned by an Italian countess from Panzano in the 19th century. We were both feeling deeply romantic and happy that evening. The wine did the trick. She said yes. I guess the countess’s ring didn’t hurt either...
“La Contessa” is my tribute to that wine and to that memory. Grown on-property in our Siren of the Lake Vineyard, this Syrah is delightfully dark with notes of raspberry and smoke. Enjoy its long, silky finish. Cin Cin!
A smokey sweet nose, hints of blackberry, tobacco, and savory spices. Full bodied, medium weight, notes of ripe plum and smoked tobacco. A lingering savory finish calling for the next sip.
