GlenLyon Vineyards & Winery is enormously proud of our Estate Syrah. Our philosophy has been to plant the grape varietal and clone that is perfectly situated for our soil and microclimate and to then let those grapes make themselves into "The Best Syrah on the Planet".

We feel that our GlenLyon Syrah is a World-Class Wine. A couple of other folks think so too:



After an on air tasting...

“This is the best Syrah I’ve ever had!”

“GlenLyon Syrah threatens to become a Cult Favorite!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bruce Cass, Editor
The Oxford Companion of Wines of North America


“The GlenLyon Syrah is not one to miss!”

"The 2000 GlenLyon Syrah is a Blockbuster! The darkest, richest, most Northern-like domestic Syrah to date and a ‘Must-Have’ for all Syrah lovers!”

 

 


George Bato
Sales Manager
The Russian River Wine Company


“Cedar first, blueberry second, then the Holiday tang of nutmeg & allspice right up the nose. Complex, deep, with hints of chocolate mint, touches of cassis, rolled up in a cinnamon tortilla, each sip, an explosive bite of flavor. Sticks with you when you bite into that spicy rack of lamb or that steak sandwich slathered in big blue...”

Holly Evans-White
Owner
Cellar Cat Cafe, Glen Ellen


“The GlenLyon Syrah is a Killer! A Classic Hermitage!”

 


Don Gillette
Napa Valley Winery Exchange


"The GlenLyon Estate Syrah is a delicious drop. The toasty, roasted ocffee, blackbery characteristics are reminiscent of an elegant Cote Rotie. This wine is the best expression of a Northern Rhone Syrah style that I have encountered in California!"

Barry Burton
International Wine Judge
(including LA County Wine Competition)

Selected as "Pick of the Sun" selection by Sommelier, John Burdick for Sonoma Valley Sun, October 2004
