$36.00 per bottle
Description:
This rich concentrated expression of Syrah is the result of meticulous vineyard management and cellar care. It is made up of 75% Maryhill Estate fruit (Gunkel Vineyards) and 25% Groth Vineyards in Horse Heaven Hills. Aged for 16 months in a mix of French and American oak, we racked it into brand new barrels for four months to finish. Cane fruit, black pepper, herbs, cinnamon and blackberry are beautifully framed in tannins and subtle oak that have a long lingering finish.

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.
