This flavorful Syrah is sourced from the vineyards of well respected grape grower, Dick Boushey. His Yakima Valley AVA vineyards are located on Rattlesnake Ridge north of Grandview, on coarse sand and loam soil at an elevation of 900-1200 feet. Our 2004 vintage of the Boushey Vineyard Syrah earned 94 points in Wine Enthusiast and sold out in just eight weeks, and our 2006 vintage was named to the Top 100 Washington Wine Picks for 2009!
Tasting Notes
Fruit grown in the heart of the Yakima Valley by accomplished grower, Dick Boushey, provides the elegant tannin profile for this luscious Syrah. Expressive aromas of blueberry, plum and spice lead to rich flavors and a long, silky finish.
Serving Suggestions
This wine is a delicious accompaniment to more delicate meats, salmon and game birds with spiced fruit sauces.
