$34.00 per bottle
Description:
Great color with flavors of dark plum and berry, this cool climate Syrah is grown on our cougar ridge vineyard above Mill Bay on the north shore of Lake Chelan. French and Hungarian oak barrels add a rich complexity which makes this wine pair perfectly with any one of our delicious steaks. Taken straight from the barrel, this wine is delightfully unfiltered.

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.
