Kunde Family Estate - Wines
2002 Syrah
Harvest/Winemaking

- The addition of Viognier, a traditional practice in the northern Rhone region, enlivens the berry fruit and helps bring out the pepper spice of the Syrah grape.
- Barrel aged for 17 months in new and aged French and American oak cooperage.
Food Pairing
Red meat, roasted chicken, pasta with sauteed vegetables.
Winemaker's Comments
" You need a red wine that is different. Sure, Cabernet is great for grilled steaks; Pinot Noir is light enough to pair with salmon, but where do you go for a wine that can be at home with red meat, a roasted chicken, or pasta with sauteed vegetables and fresh-grated romano? You've come to the right place because we have your answer. Kunde Estate 2002 Syrah is a red wine that's hearty, without all the tannin of Cabernet, versatile for many foods, and filled with berry fruit and spice balanced by a floral quality that is just, well, different from the rest. It will make you sit up and take notice."
