Great Oaks Ranch Vineyard Syrah
Big Powerful Spicy Earthy

Winery Story

Great Oaks Ranch and Vineyard is run by energetic couple Michael and Nancy Lippman, who, besides bringing up grape vines, also raise award-w... (more...)inning Romagnola Cattle, American quarter horses and lavender at the ranch. The year 2002 marked their first vintage for wine grape production, and the wines have been getting better and better with each harvest. With celebrated winemaker Andrew Murray at the helm of the wine operation, they're already off to a fantastic start.

Tasting Note

Red, blue, black fruits including plum, blueberry and blackberry mingle with notes of char, vanilla, caramel, black pepper, brown sugar and ... (more...)a hint of deli meat. Full-bodied.

Terrific bottle. Very smooth but still complex, works just as well with a slice of pizza as with a fancy meal. Highly recommended!

Had this last night--amazing! Like sipping notes of bliss. Not overpowering, classy, gentle flavors. Works well with salty/cheesy dishes. Highly recommended.

Absolutely delicious Syrah- juicy, yet mature and lean - with great hints of black pepper. Perfectly paired with pizza & salad.
