Shiraz

2005 New Mexico Syrah

The Blue Teal Vineyards Shiraz from the 2005 vintage showcases the bold character of Syrah, presenting a delightful deep red hue that catches the eye.

The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing luscious notes of dark berries and plum intertwined with hints of spice and earthiness, making each sip a captivating experience. This well-crafted Shiraz is dry yet flavorful, ensuring it pairs beautifully with a variety of hearty dishes, making it a superb choice for any gathering or special occasion.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
