San Francisco Chronicle Comments:
:
"We don't see many wines from southern Oregon, much less Syrah, but the Garvin family from Gold Hill, with help from longtime Oregon
winemaker Joe Dobbes, has turned out a beaut. It's rugged, with scents of volcanic earth, and makes for a big, gripping mouthful, highlighted by blueberry and salt pork
flavors, and surprisingly fine-boned minerality."

SYRAH: This grape is a variety of grape used in wine. It is called Syrah in France, Argentina, Chile and most of the United
States. In South Africa, Australia, and Canada it is known as Shiraz. In Australia it used to be called Hermitage up to the late 1980s. It should not be confused with
Petite Sirah, a synonym for Durif, which is a different type of grape.
