Heron Syrah - 2002(W-118)

Heron Syrah
Big Powerful Spicy Earthy

Winery Story

Laely Heron launched Heron Wines in 1994. At the time it was rare to see a woman-owned business in an industry traditionally dominated by me... (more...)n. Her first release was a Merlot from the St. Chinian region in southern France. Since then she has added a California Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah to her portfolio. Laely has recently released "Sexto", a wine from Terra Alta, which is the southern-most DO in Catalonia, Spain. Over the last decade, Heron has become a “cult wine” among master sommeliers and chefs, a favorite “by the glass” pour in the nation’s top restaurants and a consistent “Best Buy” in the wine press.

Tasting Note

For a Syrah, this is light and tangy with fresh, fruity aromas, a slight peppery character, with ripe fruity flavors. Not typical for Syrah,... (more...) but light and pleasant.

I like the Syrah. It's bold and full of flavor. And the fruit lasted in my mouth. Yummy with veal.

Peppery but light, not too full bodied. Very unusual taste!

Heron's Syrah seemed one note. Not terribly interesting.
