Yesterday we enjoyed a Syrah wine from their winery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Colorado Syrah 2006 is unfiltered and the color is a deep, opaque purple. Handcrafted and with 16.5 percent alcohol, this Syrah wine is spicy and fruity overall. The aroma was spicy and sweet. With a zero percent residual sugar, the sweetness is from the fruit nuances. The full-bodied mouth feel accompanied a very fruity taste with an explosion of dark fruity berries. The aftertaste was great. Someone commented the wine had an \u201cincredible aftertaste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For those who enjoy wine bottles, the top is finished with white wax, which for me provides a delightful detail and experience. The label is a colorful portrayal of a barrel room with an old grape crusher that is also on the winery&#8217;s homepage website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Note: Balistreri\u2019s 2006 Colorado Syrah won gold at the 2008 Tasters Guild International Wine Judging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">For more information about Balistreri Vineyards, read a<a href=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/colorado\/balistreri.php\"> review of the winery<\/a> on Wine Trail Traveler\u2019s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">When you have the opportunity, don&#8217;t miss a visit to Balistreri Vineyards!<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Cheers, Kathy<\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Balistreri Vineyards - Colorado Syrah 2006\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=1377\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located in Denver, Balistreri Vineyards is a family-owned winery.
