This Syrah is filled with spicy notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and orange peel on the nose. Cherry, currant, and plum flavors in a firm concentrated style are balanced well by bold tannins and food friendly acidity and a lengthy finish.

Tasting Notes
Our reserve Syrah is sourced from old vines on the Horse Heaven Hills Vineyard of Rob Andrews at McKinley Springs. This rich and elegant wine displays cherry blossom, orange peel aromas, and deep cherry and blueberry fruit flavors, with chocolate, lavendar and oak overtones. Delicious with meat dishes, wild mushrooms, or strong cheeses.
