Description:
The Yakima Valley has turned out to be an ideal growing site for this great Rhone varietal. The long hours of sunlight followed by cool evenings bring the perfect touch of ripeness and acids to the tiny, dark berries. This wine is firm, with tart, lively structure and tangy currant, plum, raspberry and chocolate flavors underscored by cedar, fresh herb and cracked pepper flavors. Roasted vegetables, duck, couscous with spiced vegetables, T-bone steak, and beef stew or lamb match well with this wine.

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.
