WINE DESCRIPTION
Bell Canterbury Vineyard Syrah is a premium wine produced by Bell Wine Cellars, a renowned winery in Napa Valley. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Canterbury Vineyard, located in the Sierra Foothills. The vineyard features well-drained soils and a cool climate, which allows for slow ripening and optimal flavor development. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied Syrah with rich flavors of dark fruit, black pepper, and spice. Its elegant tannins and balanced acidity make it a perfect pairing for grilled meats and hearty stews.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Bell Canterbury Vineyard Syrah is an expressive and intense red wine.On the nose, aromas of ripe dark fruit, tobacco and spices abound. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with flavors of ripe blackberry, plum and subtle hints of black pepper. The wine has good length and balance, with velvety tannins that linger in the mouth. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years for further complexity.

ORIGINS
Winery: Bell
Region: Sierra Foothills
The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA.
The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
