2017 Syrah (Columbia Valley)
Tasting Notes
The majority of the Syrah in this wine is from Champoux Vineyard blended with a small portion of Klipsun Vineyard Syrah. These two vineyards represent two of the oldest vineyards in the state and the Syrah is one of our favorites. There is only 2.5 acres of Syrah planted in Champoux Vineyard and we are fortunate to get all of it each year. The vines were planted in 1998 and produce some of the best Syrah we see in Washington. Dark fruit, stone, and a hint of savory make this a fascinating wine that takes your taste buds on a journey to enjoy. Aged only in 50% new oak (a portion of the new oak is Russian oak providing a hint of vanilla sweetness in the wine). Pair this with any meat dish or just drink it with good friends next to a roaring outdoor fire on a cold winter night - very fun! This wine will be sold out upon release.
