Winemaker’s Notes: Our 2021 Syrah is sourced from Washington’s Rocks District, a unique growing region that Wine Spectator has called “The most distinctive AVA in the United States….making some of the greatest wines in America.” While it may be small (under 6 square miles), the Rocks District makes up for its lack of size in its incredibly unique expression of Syrah, which grows in an ancient unique alluvial fan that formed at the base of the Blue Mountains and is rich in Freewater soils and large basalt rocks, yielding to stunningly balanced, elegant vine fruit.
Tasting Note: “The aromatics are so complex and interesting that you may forget to taste the wine! The palate defines elegance and finesse, with refined structure, crisp acidity, and well-delineated notes of black plum, framboise, truffle, forest floor, and black olives. The long finish resolves with savory notes of truffle, white pepper, and stony minerality.
