Description:
Woodward Canyon is delighted to introduce our third bottling of Columbia Valley Syrah. This red wine was produced from grapes grown by Dubrul Vineyard (73%) near Sunnyside, Washington in the Yakima Valley and Pepperbridge Vineyard (27%) in the heart of the Walla Walla Valley. This Syrah continues the trend towards a richer and bolder style. Flavors of ripe mountain blackberries, vanilla, and spice marry beautifully showing great balance. This wine is fuller in the mouth with a silky texture, great structure and a delightfully long finish. The wine cries out for Mediterranean food and apple wood roasted loin of beef. This wine may be consumed now but it will benefit substantially from additional cellar time. Cellared properly, this wine should age well for five to seven years from vintage.

Varietal Definition
Syrah:
Syrah is the eight hundred pound gorilla of Rhone grapes! In the vineyard and the winery, Syrah is typically an easy grape to work with - healthy, early ripening, resistant to mildew and rot; suitable for winemaking in a variety of styles. The wines from Syrah are tannic without being harsh. The wines will have a taste and smell of dark blue fruit like blackberries and blackcurrant, with a strong spicy side where one can find freshly ground pepper and other spices. Syrah is famous for its part in the French blends, such as Côtes du Rhone and Châteauneuf du Pape.
