GREAT WINES FOR GOOD CAUSES
Since 2004 Lieb Cellars has been producing wines to support a few select charities that represent our favority causes. The concept emerged at harvest just days after the September 11 disaster, and has grown to be a substantial part of our work. Your purchase of these wines raises money for these charities, so we encourage you to spread the word and share these guilt-free indulgences with your family and friends.
SYRAH
2008 Vintage — 118 CASES
RETAIL PRICE — $27/BOTTLE
Syrah is one of our favorite grapes and was also the name of our
vineyard mascot, who we recently lost to kidney disease. This Syrah
wine has been created in his memory. 20% of the proceeds from sales of
this wine will be donated to the non-profit Animal Medical Center in
NYC for research and treatment of kidney disease in animals. For more

This is a cool
climate Syrah without the jammy fruit found in many warm climate
Syrah/Shiraz. Instead it is a medium bodied with balanced acidity,
showing black fruit and spiced earth. Well-integrated oak aging
produces hints of clove and soft tannins, while the addition of Merlot
rounds out the mouthfeel.
