Ah... the Syrah grape.. This is the first real grape I fell in love with. Lots of wineries make it but few can do it well. I have become a Cab Franc girl of late but while at the winery of Spero, I met a gentlemen that steered me away that day from my beloved Cab Franc and go read more

Saturday, February 05, 2011
Winemakers Notes:
Just as Dionysos Bromios thunders and rumbles and roars, this blend fills your palette as you'd expect from a big red wine with a bold mouthfeel, combining complex acids with rounded full tannins. And despite the intensity this wine is very smooth and well integrated.
